API Notes: ScriptingBridge framework¶
The full API is described in Apple’s documentation, both the C and Objective-C APIs are available (but see the API Notes below).
These bindings are accessed through the ScriptingBridge
package (that is, import ScriptingBridge
).
Basic usage¶
The Objective-C documentation for the scripting bridge frameworks focuses on static tools for creating proxy classes for scriptable applications. This is in general not needed when you’re programming in Python.
In Python you can just as easy create a dynamic proxy object:
iTunes = SBApplication.applicationWithBundleIdentifier_("com.apple.iTunes")
This can then be used to call “AppleScript” methods, like this:
print(iTunes.currentTrack().name())
