According to a report on macpython-sig the argvemulator module doesn't 
work on intel macs due to endianness issues.

This seems to be a problem in aepack/aetypes.

The attached version of argvemulator should fix the problem by not using 
aepack and friends and was written by has.

I know to little of AppleEvents and the aepack module to actually fix this 
at this point in time.

I propose to replace argvemulator by the attached version.

The new version seems to be not entirely equivalent to the current version, I was 
using argvemulator in the .app wrapper for IDLE and that now behaves 
differently: before it opened quite slowly (maybe just due to my machine), now it 
doesn't make progress until the first time you quit IDLE.

Fixed in revision 46727.

I've merged the basic AE-handling of the attached patch with the original 
eventloop code.
