 From the manual:

======= Notes on Identifier Mangling =======

Because aete resources do not specify C-style identifiers, appscript 
applies the following name mangling rules to convert 
AppleScript-style identifiers to Python-compatible format:

- Characters a-z, A-Z, 0-9 and underscores are preserved.
- Spaces and hyphens are replaced with underscores.
- All other characters are converted to 0X00-style hexadecimal representations.
- Names that match Python keywords or words reserved by appscript 
have an underscore appended.


So in this case:

    do JavaScript "document.readyState" in document 1

becomes:

    safari.do_JavaScript('document.readyState', in_=safari.documents[0])

-------

Of course, the easiest thing is to use doc() to get the correct 
terms; which brings us to:

My bad: the HTMLTemplate API has changed since AppScripting 0.3.1 was 
released. You'll need to use HTMLTemplate 0.2.0 for now.

Any other problems/questions, please fire away.
