You might add a note that since findertools uses aetools
which is  
[over]due for deprecation, findertools should be deprecated
as well.

Anyway, simplest solution here is:

	import subprocess
	subprocess.call(['open', '/Users/drew/Documents'])

Or you can do it with appscript if you prefer:

	from appscript import *
	from mactypes import Alias

	path = '/Users/drew/Documents'

	app('Finder').items[Alias(path)].open()

or
import open
os.system('open /Users/drew/Documents')
