AfterEffects and Premier Pro doesn't have COM support so scripting in python via COM is not possible like it's illustrated in Photoshop & InDesign
AE's API is in ExtendScript. The best platform from which to select and trigger ExtendScripts (even those driven by Python scripts) is through a CEP (Common Extensibility Platform) panel.
Here's the 'flagship' panel, that shows what's possible at the JavaScript level: https://github.com/Adobe-CEP/CEP-Resources/tree/master/CEP_8.x/Samples/CEP_HTML_Test_Extension-8.0
Here's the After Effets panel, basically an empty husk from which to trigger ExtendScript: https://github.com/Adobe-CEP/Samples/tree/master/AfterEffectsPanel

I'm working on a fork of your excellent library for Adobe After Effects full time.
Would you be so kind as to help me connect to the App object of Adobe After Effects ?
Based on your code, you connected to the Photoshop app object via:
What would the equivalent Dispatch() be for Adobe After Effects ?
Thank you so much for your time,
Will happily pay for time spent on this,
All the best, Sam
