Hmmm. This is the first time I've heard of such a problem, and I'm  
unable to replicate the error here on my i386 test box (Core Solo  
Mini, OS 10.4.6, Python 2.4.3, appscript 0.17.0):

[mini:~] has% python2.4
Python 2.4.3 (#1, Mar 30 2006, 11:02:16)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5250)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> from appscript import *
 >>> a = app('itunes')
 >>> a
app(u'/Applications/iTunes.app')
 >>> a.name
app(u'/Applications/iTunes.app').name


Which Python distribution and appscript version are you using?

Also, could anyone else here who has a similar setup to Christian  
please try the above and let us know if it works ok or not for them?
