I've uploaded a very revamped version of the OSAm module which fixes
various memory problems, and other nastyness.  This module allows you to
execute AppleScript from within Python (it also allows you to compile and
save scripts, and run pre-compiled scripts).

There's also a new module I wrote, StuffIt, which uses the StuffIt SDK to
expand/stuff .sit files as well as HQX encode and MacBin files.
Unfortunatly, the licencing on the SDK is such that I cannot distribute a
binary.  If you want to use this, you'll have to download the StuffIt SDK
and compile the my code aginst their headers and stub library.  I had to 
write this module because StuffIt's AppleScript interface is very broken,
and will crash the machine if you access it to many times.

Both these modules can be found at:
