Hi, In the first page you mention that: "So remember, this is one option to execute complex commands via the command line with Python, but it's generally a bad idea as there are better ways to use Python to solve your problems."

  Yes. "do shell script" is a great way to call python from applescript. I have an article I may write about writing a Cocoa GUI with just Applescript Studio and python. I wrote a decent Cocoa Application using just that!
  
  If your interested let me know...

  Hi,
  
  Yes, I am very interested in that article. I think it would be a great way to put a Cocoa GUI on top of Pyhton.
  
  I have also heard that the scripting to framework library in Leopard will allow writing Pyhton apps with the Cocoa GUI.
  
  Hopefully you write that article.
  
  Thanks,
