You can install appscript from source using plain old distutils; the

I'd like to suggest an option to use distutils even if setuptools is
available.

Don't know how that could be done automatically as both use the same setup.py file. If you want to do it manually, replace the first five lines in the setup.py script with this:

from distutils.core import setup, Extension


Filing bug reports on setuptools seems like a losing proposition; I'd
have to understand how it works first.  How about *you* file the bug
reports there?  You're the one using it.

I've not had any problems using it myself.
