Greetings.
I'm having difficulty using py-appscript after a recent upgrade to 10.6.
I had appscript installed on 10.5, and was using it successfully.
With the change to 10.6, Python has changed from 2.5.? to 2.6.1.
Now, when I try to import appscript, I get:
% which python
/usr/bin/python
% python

...which appears to be linked to Python 2.5, not 2.6. Googling around
doesn't really help very much. Advice includes "easy_install -m
appscript" and "easy_install -U setuptools", and though I can read a
manpage, this is clearly drifting into the realms of voodoo. I'm
slightly surprised that I apparently can't _un_install appscript and
start afresh.
I can't see any rele
I have so far managed to remain innocent of exactly how Python manages
its libraries. It looks like I'm going to have to get someone to
destroy that innocence: what should I be doing here, and why?
I do have the Developer tools installed:
% /usr/bin/gcc --version
