Your Xcode project is apparently using a different version of Python 
than the one appscript was installed with.  If you are on OS X 10.6, you 
may have the Xcode target set for 10.5 instead of 10.6 and, thus, are 
using the Apple-supplied python2.5 in your project.

For example:

$ /usr/bin/python2.6 
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/ma
cpath.pyc
$ /usr/bin/python2.5 
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/ma
cpath.pyc
RuntimeError: Bad magic number in .pyc file

If you do need to support 10.5, try installing appscript with python2.5, 
too.

$ /usr/bin/easy_install-2.5 appscript
