Agreed. Today's MacPython is, or should be, a superset of standard  
*nix Python. OS X is *nix at the shell level, and tools that work on  
other *nixes ought to work the same on OS X, otherwise you end up in a  
situation where users have to maintain two separate Python  
installations for compatibility. Users won't like that; neither, I  
suspect, would Apple.

Bill's problem is with appscript; that's where the fix should be as  
well. I don't have time to work on it, but y'all are welcome to grab  
the latest trunk and hack on it.
