    <p>I'm writing an applescript function in python using the applescript module and I'm having trouble generalizing the following function: </p> <pre><code>scpt = applescript.AppleScript(''' on code() tell application "System Events" key code 123 using command down end tell end code ''') </code></pre> <p>so that the keycode and the keydown variables can be input parameters, like so:</p> <pre><code>scpt = applescript.AppleScript(''' on code(kc, extras) tell application "System Events" key code kc extras end tell end code ''') </code></pre> <p>But I get the following run time error:</p> <pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last): File "&lt;stdin&gt;", line 1, in &lt;module&gt; File "example.py", line 28, in &lt;module&gt; ''') File "build/bdist.macosx-10.7-intel/egg/applescript/__init__.py", line 49, in __init__ applescript.ScriptError: Expected end of line but found application constant or consideration. (-2741) range=410-414 </code></pre> <p>so I assume there's something wonky with my syntax.</p> <p>I'm using Mac 0SX 10.7.5, python 2.7.1. </p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p> <p>This code is in a python module named example.py, here is the code again exactly as it is in the module:</p> <pre><code>import applescript scpt = applescript.AppleScript(''' on code(kc, extras) tell application "System Events" key code kc extras end tell end code ''') </code></pre> <p>I am invoking it from the command line as follows:</p> <pre><code>$ python Python 2.7.1 (r271:86832, Aug 5 2011, 03:30:24) [GCC 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5658) (LLVM build 2335.15.00)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. &gt;&gt;&gt; import example as e Traceback (most recent call last): File "&lt;stdin&gt;", line 1, in &lt;module&gt; File "example.py", line 9, in &lt;module&gt; ''') File "build/bdist.macosx-10.7-intel/egg/applescript/__init__.py", line 49, in __init__ applescript.ScriptError: Expected end of line but found identifier. (-2741) range=90-96 </code></pre> <p>where line 9 is the last line of my module -- ''').</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
