I am trying to monitor keystrokes on my Macbook on order to build a statistics analyzer. But how can I isolate the chars from "event" which is more something like : NSEvent: type=KeyDown loc=(850,248) time=66551.8 flags=0x100 win=0x0 winNum=0 ctxt=0x0 chars="l" unmodchars="l" repeat=0 keyCode=37 So do anyone know how to, based on the script posted below, fulfill a .txt doc with the value of chars (from NSEvent) ? I need a text file with a the pressed keys in order to run my other script on it and analyze the frequency etc... Thanks in advance ;) #!/usr/bin/python # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- from

I am about to start my A-Level Computing project (High School Level) which will hopefully be a point-of-sale application for Mac OS. Unfortunately, Objective-C is a little out of my league at the moment and should I get stuck with it in the project I have no one to help out so I would fail the section of the course and not get into University. So this is quite important to me. I want to use Python to develop a Cocoa app. I know that I need PyObjc, however all details on the net seem to assume it is pre-installed. Apparently this is the case with Leopard and Snow Leopard but I don't seem to

Xcode 3.2 has removed the default templates for the scripting languages (Ruby, Python etc). How do I find these templates to use in Xcode 3.2? Would I need to add anything else to Xcode to support working with and 'building' PyObjC programs? Additionally, is there any documentation and/or resources that would help me get into PyObjC (and Cocoa), taking into account I am already a Python guy? Apple now encourages people to get the templates directly from the PyObjC project. There's a nice thread of explanation archived on Cocoabuilder , with the following advice from bbum: You'll need to

I'm trying to implement an indexed accessor method for my model class in Python, as per the KVC guide . I want to use the optional ranged method, to load multiple objects at once for performance reasons. The method takes a pointer to a C-array buffer which my method needs to copy the objects into. I've tried something like the following, which doesn't work. How do I accomplish this? @objc.accessor # i've also tried @objc.signature('v@:o^@') def getFoos_range_(self, range): return self._some_array[range.location:range.location + range.length] Edit : I finally found the type encodings reference

I wrote an AppleScript to mount a SparseBundle image and I want it to be executed exactly when Time Machine launches. Right now, I periodically check if Time Machine is running with AppleScript using on idle statement: on idle .... return <interval> end idle which isn't a robust way. In my opinion adding an event trigger for Application Launch event would be a better approach. Could you please help? An Objective-C or Python sample code (I'd prefer Python ) is more than welcome.
