| 65 | The module <tt class="module">MiniAEFrame</tt> provides a framework for an application |
| 66 | that can function as an Open Scripting Architecture |
| 67 | <a id='l2h-176' xml:id='l2h-176'></a> |
| 68 | (OSA) server, i.e. receive and process |
| 69 | AppleEvents<a id='l2h-177' xml:id='l2h-177'></a>. It can be used in conjunction with |
| 70 | <tt class="module"><a href="module-FrameWork.html">FrameWork</a></tt><a id='l2h-178' xml:id='l2h-178'></a> or standalone. As an |
| 71 | example, it is used in <b class="program">PythonCGISlave</b>. |
| 72 | |
| 73 | <P> |
| 74 | The <tt class="module">MiniAEFrame</tt> module defines the following classes: |
| 75 | |
| 76 | <P> |
| 77 | <dl><dt><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr valign="baseline"> |
| 78 | <td><nobr><b><span class="typelabel">class</span> <tt id='l2h-174' xml:id='l2h-174' class="class">AEServer</tt></b>(</nobr></td> |
| 79 | <td><var></var>)</td></tr></table></dt> |
| 80 | <dd> |
| 81 | A class that handles AppleEvent dispatch. Your application should |
| 82 | subclass this class together with either |
| 83 | <tt class="class">MiniApplication</tt> or |
| 84 | <tt class="class">FrameWork.Application</tt>. Your <tt class="method">__init__()</tt> method should |
| 85 | call the <tt class="method">__init__()</tt> method for both classes. |
| 86 | </dl> |
| 87 | |
| 88 | <P> |
| 89 | <dl><dt><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr valign="baseline"> |
| 90 | <td><nobr><b><span class="typelabel">class</span> <tt id='l2h-175' xml:id='l2h-175' class="class">MiniApplication</tt></b>(</nobr></td> |
| 91 | <td><var></var>)</td></tr></table></dt> |
| 92 | <dd> |
| 93 | A class that is more or less compatible with |
| 94 | <tt class="class">FrameWork.Application</tt> but with less functionality. Its |
| 95 | event loop supports the apple menu, command-dot and AppleEvents; other |
| 96 | events are passed on to the Python interpreter and/or Sioux. |
| 97 | Useful if your application wants to use <tt class="class">AEServer</tt> but does not |
| 98 | provide its own windows, etc. |
