Running OS X Mavericks on a mid-2010 Macbook Pro, which has Python already installed on it.

"DRM Check 1.0.1app” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the trash.

I also have a Windows 7 machine I tried both files on but as I'm less than a rank novice at programming language I got discouraged when running the DRM check py a command window both opened and disappeared, and quickly, which was why I figured I'd try it out on my Mac.

Have also tried numerous web searches for a way or ways to detect or check for DRM in epubs/ebooks with zilch results. There are boo coo hits on the *removal* of it (DRM) but that's not what I'm looking for (that's what Apprentice Alf is for, right?).

Sorry to be a pest oh Ghost Mouse, but have you any other suggestions for how best to check/detect for DRM in pubs?
Find AppleScript Editor on your machine (somewhere in Applications). Use that to open the DRM Check 1.0.1.app application, and then re-save as an AppleScript application. You might need to then open both apps up (Show package contents from the contextual menu) and copy across the python scripts.

Good luck!
