It looks like your script is being found fine, meaning the problem lies elsewhere - unless your actual app is called "avcOsxLinux.py, and you missed renaming it in the error message. Try adding a print statement as the very first line - before any imports - to test this. The only reference to that filename is a french audio-visual library, which might not be installed on your target system.
