[Pythonmac-SIG] appscript

[Keith Ray]

just adding one thing to the "sdef" file (created by Apple's Script
Editor and edited with 'Sdef Editor") seems to be the problem --
Script Editor can't access the new thing either

tell app "myapp"
  doFoo "test"  -- fails
end tell

names copied off the installers:

pyobjc-1.3.7-py2.3-macosx10.4

Appscript-Installer-1.2
