The command line python interpreter automatically upgrades to a full
GUI process whenever OS APIs linked to the Window Manager are called.
In appscript's case, it uses the Carbon Process Manager to launch
applications and obtain their process IDs.
This behaviour is useful when running scripts that need to display
dialogs, etc. to users, but it's a nuisance the rest of the time and
is something I'd like to get rid of if possible. I'm stuffed for spare
time at the moment, but if anyone else fancies rewriting the relevant
code then do let me know.
Cheers,
