problems with installing appscript as a substitute for NSAppleScript

I've got a almost complete Cocoa document-based app done.  The 
"almost" centers just on my need for Thread-friendly AppleScript, 
which NSAppleScript is not .. so, enter appscript.

Dug around and found ASTranslate which handily generates appscript 
code based on my input AppleScript code.

Then in http://appscript.sourceforge.net/objc-appscript/install.html I 
found:

svn checkout http://appscript.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/appscript/objc-appscript
  objc-appscript
svn checkout http://appscript.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/appscript/py-appscript/trunk
  py-appscript
svn checkout http://appscript.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/appscript/py-osaterminology/trunk
  py-osaterminology

Downloaded each folder and the above automatically placed them at the 
top-level of my /users/myname folder.

So far, so good, but this is where it ends ..

Found the unix executible file = osaglue buried in each of the above 
folders .. double-clicked on osaglue and Terminal returned:

===
Sorry, py-appscript 0.18.1 or later is required to use osaglue.
Please see the following page for more information:

    http://appscript.sourceforge.net/py-appscript/install.html
   
Please install py-appscript and run this command again.
===

In http://appscript.sourceforge.net/py-appscript/install.html I found:

    sudo easy_install appscript

where the web page states "To download and install py-appscript via 
setuptools, run the following command in Terminal:"

But in Terminal, I got such warnings as:

In file included from Modules/CarbonX/_OSAmodule.c:33:
Modules/CarbonX/GetASFormatting.c: In function ‘ParseStyle’:
Modules/CarbonX/GetASFormatting.c:33: warning: ‘FMGetFontFamilyName’ 
is deprecated (declared at /System/Library/Frameworks/
ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks/QD.framework/Headers/Fonts.h:
832)

.. and way down at the very end:

zip_safe flag not set; analyzing archive contents...
No eggs found in /tmp/easy_install-f-y69D/appscript-0.18.1/egg-dist-
tmp--JzIjp (setup script problem?)

I then copied osaglue to my usr/local/bin/, double-clicked on the 
copied osaglue and got:

===
Sorry, py-appscript 0.19.0+ and py-osaterminology 0.12.0+
are required to use osaglue.
Please see the following page for more information:

    http://appscript.sourceforge.net/objc-appscript/install.html

Please install these modules and run this command again.

Of course, this is due to easy_install not working!

What am I missing or doing wrong?
