I now nothing of appscript, and didn't even read it all, but a comment 
none the less.

You should use:

if txt is None:

the equality operator can be overloaded, so you can't count on it for 
None. However, you could probably just do:

def myDebug( txt ):
     if txt:
	sys.stderr.write( txt )
     else:
          sys.stderr.flush()

that will flush on both None and an empty string (or anything else that 
evaluates to False).
