That was essentially the point of the rest of my post -- the quoted unix 
tools weren't universal and that you had asked for Python code.  I used 
Windows as an example because that was the box I was sitting at when I 
read the post.

Actually, I think many (all?) of those tools may be available by default 
if you're using OS X, but I'm too lazy to fire up my powerbook at the 
moment...
