1"""Tools for use in AppleEvent clients and servers.
2
3pack(x) converts a Python object to an AEDesc object
4unpack(desc) does the reverse
5
6packevent(event, parameters, attributes) sets params and attrs in an AEAppleEvent record
7unpackevent(event) returns the parameters and attributes from an AEAppleEvent record
8
9Plus...  Lots of classes and routines that help representing AE objects,
10ranges, conditionals, logicals, etc., so you can write, e.g.:
11
12    x = Character(1, Document("foobar"))
13
14and pack(x) will create an AE object reference equivalent to AppleScript's
15
16    character 1 of document "foobar"
17
18Some of the stuff that appears to be exported from this module comes from other
19files: the pack stuff from aepack, the objects from aetypes.
