Installing py-appscript

Please note that appscript is no longer developed or supported, and its use is not recommended for new projects.

Using setuptools

To download and install py-appscript via Setuptools, run the following command in Terminal:

sudo easy_install appscript

Setuptools is included in Leopard's standard Python 2.5 installation and Snow Leopard's standard Python 2.6 installation. For other Python distributions, you may need to install Setuptools first. (Python 3.x users can install Distribute instead.)

Setuptools will download and build py-appscript from source. Note that building py-appscript from source requires gcc, included with Apple's Xcode IDE.

Additional documentation and examples can be found in the latest .tar.gz source release.

Using distutils

Download the latest .tar.gz source release from the Python Package Index and follow the instructions in its README file.
