I'm not sure what the process is for Jack to include something, but I 
just want to say that I'm in support of this.  I think that appscript 
works fine, and you are far more interested in maintaining it and 
writing documentation than I am for aeve.  I'll go as far as including 
appscript in my PyCon talk in lieu of aeve.  The first thing I would do 
is file a feature request on sourceforge.  Mailing list messages aren't 
very good "to-do" items :)

I'll review the appscript code when I get a chance and let you know if 
I have anything worth contributing from my current, unreleased, aeve 
codebase.  The low level bits (primarily the terminology parser and 
adaptation stuff) are quite nice.
