[Pythonmac-SIG] boolean values in appleevents - solution

[Lee Phillips]

    Several people generously responded to my question; one response 
actually provided a solution to the problem:

    From Vincent Marchetti, using

        import aetypes
        AETrue = aetypes.Boolean(1) # or AEFalse  = aetypes.Boolean(0)

works perfectly, at least for the two applications I've tested it 
for: the makedisk.py example and a test I wrote that talks to BBedit. 
Thank you!
    From Jack Jansen,

I've only experimented with Disk Copy and BBedit, and neither one 
understands "1" or "0" as boolean. If that's not what you mean, just 
ignore me; I'm just starting with this and don't understand most of 
what you said.
    Bill fancher writes that if he tells Disk Copy

        create "testImg" saving as file "Nanook:testImg.dmg" leave 
image mounted 0

a message is sent that he thinks looks ok, and the image is indeed 
not mounted. When I try this from the Script Editor the image is 
mounted. When I change it to

                           .... leave image mounted 1

the image is also mounted. When I use the formulations "with leave 
image mounted" or "without leave image mounted", things work as they 
should. Maybe we have different versions of Disk Copy, or something. 
Also, the events sent are different, of course.
    Am I alone in thinking that appleevents are a fairly hairy system of IAC?
