dist on OSX and pyAppStub

3.11 What is pythonw? When do I need to use it? What is the error SetFrontProcess failed,-606

Because of a subtle bug in OS X you can not interact with programs that use the Window Manager unless the
application you are in was started using a fully qualified path (which is what pythonw does) or was started as an application bundle (.app). If you ever get an exception that ends with a cryptic message like RuntimeError: No window manager access, cannot send AppleEvent or SetFrontProcess failed,-606 then try running in pythonw.

this is an obsolete view,

PyAppStub works with a "full qualified path"

for Applescript

PyAppStub is a bridge between Mac OS X --CFLocalization --CFIdentifier ---Futur CFPreferences and Python

example : bridge : gettext / Finder international

-- 3 way :

-- simple interpreter

-- bridge your existing system with Mac OSX

-- full Mac OSX

I separated in 3 emails because
