I'm not sure why Python's command line interpreter upgrades itself to  
a full GUI process when appscript runs - appscript hasn't needed a  
Window Manager connection since 0.16.0. I think the interpreter's  
auto-GUIfication code is just a bit over-sensitive: IIRC, it gets set  
off by the Process Manager calls when appscript connects to an  
application, although those don't require a GUI connection either.

I'd agree it's probably a security issue due to Apache (presumably)  
running as a restricted user, though as to why it's the import that  
fails, I'd really need to see a traceback.
