I've read that apple events don't actually need a 
WindowServer connection, you have any idea why they do 
from Python?

[Jack Jansen]
Because of the library that Carbon.AE is linked against. 
There's a subset of the AE interface in another library 
(missing all the stuff having to do with events) that you can 
use in commandline apps. We would need a way to create 
two similar modules, or somehow do it dynamically. Both 
are a lot of work

Closing as won't fix because the Carbon modules are deprecated. 

This doesn't actually affect behaviour of the Carbon bindings, other than 
causing an icon to appear on the dock which is basicly purely cosmetical.
