[Pythonmac-SIG] appscript raises deprecation warning for macerrors

[brad.allen@omsdal.com]

I just started using appscript for the first time (it's great!), and ran 
across this deprecation warning when I import appscript. It looks like the 
problem is not with appscript itself but with the macerrors module that it 
utilizes. I'm using appscript with Tiger's built-in Python, because that's 
what the appscript installer defaults to using. (I don't think the Python 
2.4 version is available yet).

Maybe this isn't news to anyone, but just in case, here is the message. 

Python 2.3.5 (#1, Mar 20 2005, 20:38:20) 
[GCC 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1809)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from appscript import *
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/site-packages/aem/send/errors.py:5: 
DeprecationWarning: Non-ASCII character '\x80' in file 
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/plat-mac/macerrors.py 
on line 326, but no encoding declared; see 
http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for details
  import macerrors
>>>

To make this message go away, I had to open up macerrors.py and get rid of 
the non-ASCII characters. It turns out those characters were in the 
comments, not the actual code. There were a number of them, so to save 
time I ended up doing a Select All in BBEdit and chose Text-> Convert to 
ASCII.
