Hi all,

Still beating away at the new HTMLTemplate docs, I'm afraid, so 
appscript 0.5.0 will be sometime next week now. However, something I 
have gotten around to finishing this week is a preview release of my 
simple AppleSpaghetti Studio-based GUI tool for building and 
installing downloaded distutils packages:

http://freespace.virgin.net/hamish.sanderson/PyMod.app.sit

The name sucks (suggestions?), and there's no documentation or nice 
icon yet, but it appears to do the job ok and should be 
self-explanatory. Works with both setup.py and *.tar.gz files and 
supports multi-item drag-n-drop, file chooser and direct input; runs 
distutils via Terminal.app in background.

Issues I've noted so far:
1. The drag-n-drop support and file chooser dialog could be a bit 
more discriminating in what they accept.
2. Direct input currently only works with full posix paths; it'd be 
nice if understood paths starting with ~/ and ~name/ as well.

Please let me know what you think.
