applescript.py's Issues

A feature to add arguments into the run command?

I have a list of applescript files that I would love for it to be able to communicate with each other. I am thinking if the run command has an option to add args it would help a lot with my framework:

Let me know if this is something possible.

Can i use this lib to run bash/shell script files in terminal?

hi there,
Thanks for the excellent lib :)

I have a use case. I have a bash script (stored in the same directory as my python script) and I need to run that so it opens a terminal and runs the file. Similar with the shell script. The shell script does have some sudo commands and I think the user would need to enter their sudo pwd hence I need the terminal opened up as well.

I was wondering if that's possible using something like applescript.tell.app('Terminal', 'fileName.sh') or similar stuff?

Any help is greatly appreciated :)

Unable to use inside a pyinstaller package

Hello,

I'm using this wonderful lib in my program https://github.com/SimonIT/spotifylyrics to read the title of Spotify to detect the current playing song.

Everything works fine, until I try to distribute it via pyinstaller.

This is the command I use to generate the SpotifyLyrics.app:
https://github.com/SimonIT/spotifylyrics/blob/6ff9ed03ee431f9935c11bb3f19e94f1d600abcc/.travis.yml#L53
You can remove the -w flag to see the following error message during executing the resulting executable:

Traceback (most recent call last):

applescript.run() defaults to javascript=True

Thanks for the lib! While trying it out, I cam across a bug / undocumented change introduced by 67948c7:

The replace line 13 of applescript/__init__.py changes the default to the execution of Javascript:

-def run(applescript, background=False):
+def run(applescript, background=False, javascript=True):

This was unexpected / confusing for me and is not consistent with the examples stated in the README:

>>> import applescript
>>> r = applescript.run('return 1')
>>> r.code, r.out, r.err
(1, '', '0:8: syntax error: Error on line 1: SyntaxError: Return statements are only valid inside functions. (-2700)')

Without javascript set to False it works as expected:

>>> r = applescript.run('return 1', javascript=False)
>>> r.code, r.out, r.err
(0, '1', '')

OSError: [Errno 24] Too many open files

I'm writing a library which execute a lot of small apple scripts, possible some 1000 in a single run.

I run into the exception

File "/usr/local/Cellar/python/3.7.7/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/subprocess.py", line 800, in __init__
    restore_signals, start_new_session)
File "/usr/local/Cellar/python/3.7.7/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/subprocess.py", line 1441, in _execute_child
    errpipe_read, errpipe_write = os.pipe()
OSError: [Errno 24] Too many open files

I checked the library code and it looks that it opens a new temporary file for every single apple script execution and never close the file descriptor. Which after some 100 calls, results in this OS error.

Finally I used a different approach which did not use a temporary file but pipes the script via stdin to the osascript

It runs basically around the lines

proc = subprocess.Popen(["osascript", "-"],
                                stdin=subprocess.PIPE,
                                stdout=subprocess.PIPE,
                                stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
out, err = proc.communicate(input=cmd.encode("utf-8"))
status = proc.returncode
