Dear All

I should like to install appscript onto my MacBook Pro. It is running MacOSX Snow Leopard and python 2.6, and the version of py-appscript I am working with is 0.20.0.

I have tried the easy_install way (with & without -U and -Z) and the source/setup.py way. Both return the same error. I have read through the recent thread on appscript and snow leopard and I don't think this error was covered.

"sudo easy_install appscript" returns about 2300 lines of errors starting with:

   Searching for appscript
   Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/appscript/
   Reading http://appscript.sourceforge.net
   Best match: appscript 0.20.0

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/include/python2.6/Python.h:19:20:

and ending with:

   appscript_2x/ext/ae.c:1527: error: ‘PyObject’ has no member named
   ‘ob_refcnt’
   appscript_2x/ext/ae.c:1527: error: lvalue required as increment operand

   lipo: can't figure out the architecture type of: /var/tmp//ccZXAtgZ.out
   error: Setup script exited with error: command 'gcc' failed with
   exit status 1


My hunch is that the line

   Compiling with an SDK that doesn't seem to exist:
   /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk


is the clue. I have SDKs for 10.5 and 10.6 but not 10.4u. I grepped through the source for appscript-0.20.0 but couldn't find anything to edit.

Can I compile appscript with a different sdk? Is something else the problem? Has anyone else solved this?

Any help appreciated.

Best wishes

Ivan
