Sure, here's an example Python script that uses the Average Rate of Change formula to calculate the derivative of a function at a specific point:
``` 
def derivative(f, a, b):
    # A(x) = (f(b) - f(a)) / (b - a)
    return (f(b) - f(a)) / (b - a)

def function(x):
    # Define your function here
    return x ** 2

# Get user input for x
x = float(input("Enter a value for x: "))

# Calculate the derivative of the function at x
a = x - 0.1
b = x + 0.1
derivative_value = derivative(function, a, b)

# Output the result
print(f"The derivative of the function at x={x} is {derivative_value}")
``` 
Here's how this script works:

- The derivative() function takes in a function f, and two values a and b. It uses the Average Rate of Change formula to calculate the derivative of f between a and b.
- The function() function defines the function you want to take the derivative of. In this example, it's a simple function that returns the square of its input.
- The script prompts the user to enter a value for x.
- The script then calculates the derivative of the function at x by choosing two points a and b that are very close to x (in this case, a = x - 0.1 and b = x + 0.1), and passing them to the derivative() function along with the function function().
- The result is printed to the console, giving the value of the derivative of the function at x.

Note that this script assumes that the function you want to take the derivative of is defined in the same script. If you want to take the derivative of a function that's defined in a separate file, you'll need to import that function into this script.

Also, this script assumes that the function you want to take the derivative of is continuous and differentiable. If your function is not continuous or differentiable, the derivative() function may not give accurate results.

Finally, this script uses the Average Rate of Change formula to calculate the derivative, which is an approximation of the true derivative. If you want a more accurate result, you can use numerical methods like the finite difference method or the Newton-Cotes method.
