I've found that using Python to script the UI through appscript and System Events is often better behaved and considerably faster that the same operations performed through AppleScript. I find this puzzling, since both interfaces are using the same system component to script the UI through Accessibility.

This is interesting.  I too have run into fields that don't react as
expected to "AXConfirm" and I hate using a return or tab keystroke to
do the job.  Perhaps py-appscript is in my future!
