I thought that had worked, so I began the tutorial like this:
macpro-administrators-computer:~ val$ python

>>> from appscript import *
Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: No module named appscript

Why did it say "No module named appscript"? How can I get this to
work?
Do you have more than one copy of Python installed? If so, make sure
that you've installed setuptools for the Python interpreter you're
currently using.
e.g. Leopard ships with Python 2.5.1 a copy of easy_install at /usr/
bin, but if you use a different Python installation then then you'll
need to install setuptools for that yourself as the existing
easy_install only works for Apple's Python.

My only copy of Python is MacPython 2.5 in my application folder.
I find the following file:
/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/appscript-0.18.1-py2.5-macosx-10.5-
i386.egg
Using IDLE to run Python, I am able to import files that are in my
documents folder and end with .py.
I would think that I need a file named appscript.py in my documents
folder, but the easy_install of appscript did not create a file with
that name.
I don't understand what an .egg file is.
I appreciate your help.
