The uninstaller is for removing older appscript versions before  
installing the latest one. If you need to remove the current version,  
you'll have to do it manually.

Yep, the binary installer is intended for the Python.framework build  
only. Fink and DarwinPorts/MacPorts do their own thing, so you'll  
need to install appscript through those (if they have it) or else by  
building it from source [1]. (I've added a note to the installer  
readme to make this clearer in future.)

[1] Latest version in svn avoids raising an ImportError if bdist_mpkg  
isn't installed:

svn checkout http://svn.macosforge.org/repository/appscript/py- 
appscript/trunk
