<A NAME="module-MiniAEFrame"></A>  
<p class="availability">Availability: <span

<P>
The module <tt class="module">MiniAEFrame</tt> provides a framework for an application
that can function as an Open Scripting Architecture
<a id='l2h-176' xml:id='l2h-176'></a>
(OSA) server, i.e. receive and process
AppleEvents<a id='l2h-177' xml:id='l2h-177'></a>. It can be used in conjunction with
<tt class="module"><a href="module-FrameWork.html">FrameWork</a></tt><a id='l2h-178' xml:id='l2h-178'></a> or standalone. As an
example, it is used in <b class="program">PythonCGISlave</b>.

<P>
The <tt class="module">MiniAEFrame</tt> module defines the following classes:

<P>
<dl><dt><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr valign="baseline">
  <td><nobr><b><span class="typelabel">class</span>&nbsp;<tt id='l2h-174' xml:id='l2h-174' class="class">AEServer</tt></b>(</nobr></td>
  <td><var></var>)</td></tr></table></dt>
<dd>
A class that handles AppleEvent dispatch. Your application should
subclass this class together with either
<tt class="class">MiniApplication</tt> or
<tt class="class">FrameWork.Application</tt>. Your <tt class="method">__init__()</tt> method should
call the <tt class="method">__init__()</tt> method for both classes.
</dl>

<P>

  <td><var></var>)</td></tr></table></dt>
<dd>
A class that is more or less compatible with
<tt class="class">FrameWork.Application</tt> but with less functionality. Its
event loop supports the apple menu, command-dot and AppleEvents; other
events are passed on to the Python interpreter and/or Sioux.
Useful if your application wants to use <tt class="class">AEServer</tt> but does not
provide its own windows, etc.
