How do I embed an AppleScript in a Python script?

Question

I am trying to embed an AppleScript in a Python script. I don\'t want to have to save the AppleScript as a file and then load it in my Python script. Is there a way to enter

Answer 1

In python 3 it would be slightly different:

script = 'tell "some application" to do something'
p = Popen(['osascript', '-'], stdin=PIPE, stdout=PIPE, stderr=PIPE, universal_newlines=True)
stdout, stderr = p.communicate(script)

Popen now expects a byte-like object, to pass a string, the universal_newlines=True parameter is needed.
