Re: Launching an independent Python program in a cross-platform way (including mac)

AppleScript would be: tell app "Terminal" to activate If you want to Terminal to run a command-line program from AppleScript, you can do this with the "do script" command. Code to do this could look something like this: myscript = "python -e foo.py" os.system('osascript -e '\tell app \"Terminal"\ to do script %s\'', myscript) I haven't tested this, but you get the basic idea--define the script and command-line paramaters in a string, then pass that to AppleScript/osascript as a variable.
