Let's say I managed to get the dictionary opened for iTunes in the Applescript editor:

alt text

How would I access the "search" commands using Python with pyobjc?

I know I get can hold of the iTunes application using:

iTunes = SBApplication.applicationWithBundleIdentifier_("com.apple.iTunes")

but after I do a dir on it, I don't see the search command in the returned dictionary. Help please!
