[Pythonmac-SIG] No outstanding HLE (high level event?)

[Peter Sommerfeld]

A wild guess:
    Did your App call MacOS.AcceptHighLevelEvent() ???

>About a month or two ago I decided to get my feet wet with AppleEvents
>and MacPython.  The app I was trying to make was a Principia (now known
>as Zobe) browser, using BCI (the Bobo Call Interface) to communicate
>with a Principia app.  It consisted of two parts: the Python script
>(which was to be basically the AppleEvent server) that communicated via
>AppleEvents to a simple GUI made in RealBasic.
>
>I thought I had followed everything right, but kept getting a "No
>outstanding HLE" error in Python whenever I sent an AppleEvent its way.
>I basically copied the 'realcgitest.cgi.py' module and did some minor
>tweaking to clear out the CGI stuff.  And the error kept showing up.  I
>tested RealBasic's AppleEvents against some other apps and it worked
>fine.  Finally, I just gave up, figuring that I still didn't know enough
>about AppleEvents and didn't have the time or real need for this app.
>
>Yesterday, I made the Python cgitest applet and copied it into my folder
>being served by Microsoft PWS 4.0.  When I tried to access the (running)
>cgi script from a browser, nothing got returned.  I looked back over at
>the Python window and saw the good old "No oustanding HLE" error (which
>i believe is number 608).  So it seems to me that my Python (1.5.1) is
>not responding to AppleEvents anymore.

>I was hoping to start playing around with the CGI stuff again as Zope
>goes Open Source.  But CGI sortof needs to be working for that :).

>Any thoughts?
