Is it possible to subscribe to events using py-appscript ?
Example: I'd like to get a callback when a user changes a rating on iTunes.

A:
Some very few applications are recordable: that is, they'll send Apple Events to themselves which can be intercepted. iTunes is not one of these applications. iTunes does send distributed notifications for music start/stop, but not for rating changes. Assuming you don't want to patch iTunes itself, your only real choice is to parse iTunes Music Library.xml.

thanks for your answer. Just one small note: there is no need to parse the database.xml directly though: I found the way to access the data through py-appscript.

Of course you can do it that way too; I just meant it'd be a file you can watch for changes.
