Do you mean that AppleScript can't find the file, or that Python can't 
find the file?

Please don't summarize or paraphrase errors. Please copy and paste the 
EXACT error message that is shown.

If this is a problem with AppleScript being unable to find the file, you 
will be better off asking on an AppleScript mailing list.

In general, on Unix-like systems (and that includes Mac OS X), you can't 
expect a command like:

python myapp.py

to work unless myapp.py is in the current directory.
