mac findertools restart() does not work?

[nate]

>>> import findertools[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]
>>> findertools.res tart()[/color][/color][/color]
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File
"/Library/Frameworks/Python.framewor k/Versions/2.4//lib/python2.4/plat-mac/findertools.py" ,
line 90, in restart
finder.restart( )

aetools.Error: (-1708, 'the AppleEvent was not handled by any handler',
None)[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]
>>>[/color][/color][/color]

does anyone know why findertools.res tart() isn't working on my machine
(see above code), is there something more I need to do?
