Odd. The osax module appears to be puking on a System Events command  
(it uses SE to get a list of installed osaxen). What versions of  
appscript and ASDictionary? What happens if you try to import the osax  
module into a regular script? Anything unusual about your setup  
(permissions, haxies, etc.)?

PyObjC/py2app questions I'll leave to those that know more about these  
things. (FWIW, I build ASDictionary using user-installed Python 2.5.2  
framework + PyObjC 1.x for portability.)
