It looks like your script is being found fine, meaning the problem lies elsewhere - unless your actual app is called "avcOsxLinux.py, and you missed renaming it in the error message.  Try adding a print statement as the very first line - before any imports - to test this.

Sorry I missed replacing this one when I copy/pasted on the list;  avcOsxLinux.py is "myapp.py" (I renamed it for clarity). Unfortunately the problem is still the same. 

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


The only reference to that filename is a french audio-visual library, which might not be installed on your target system.

Those who know binary,
Those who do not,
And those who are off by one.

You can try using locate or find, but any usage of this is probably system specific and prone to bugs. If you have the option to "install" something you can try setting an environment variable with the location of myapp.py. It is probably easiest to keep myapp.py in the home directory (or subdirectory of it) and say "python ~/myapp.py" (or "python ~/.roadierich/myapp.py) from the applescript
