[Pythonmac-SIG] Appscript and Snow Leopard and setuptools...

[Ronald Oussoren]

Bill,

Appscript probably gets installed as a zipped egg, the .python-eggs  
directory gets created when a real filesystem path is needed for an  
item in such an egg.

If you install appscript as an unzipped egg the problem should go away.
