When I double click on the AppleScript the terminal opens with

$ python myapp.py
$ python: can't open file 'avcOsxLinux.py': [Errno 2] No such file or
directory

myapp.py and the AppleScript are both in the same directory. If I open
manually a shell in this directory "python myapp.py" works.

It all seems like the Python invoked in the AppleScript have his current
directory in root (and not the folder where i'm executing the AppleScript).
I don't see how I can change this from the AppleScript or simply find a
general solution to execute a .py script on Mac within the constrains I
mentioned above.
