[Pythonmac-SIG] Mac OS Error: (-1712, 'the AppleEvent timed out')

[transmitRobot]

Does anybody have solutions/examples....
waiting for AppleEvents to complete, 
trapping the error should it not finish, 
keeping the rest of the MacOS from "locking up" while we wait,
the weird logic flow of the code continuing to flow despite the 
assignments on the AEcalling line having not completed.


This subject was/ a real pain in AppleScript, and took a few years before 
we had complete workable solutions, so I'm not surprised the fun follows 
over to Python.
