That's the problem I had when I wrote my first Python script.  I wrote it
using vi, and vi doesn't save files with the executable flag set.  A simple
'chmod 755 script.py' fixed that right up.

Then, to execute the file from from the shell prompt, I had to create a
'bin' directory in my home folder, cuz I didn't want to litter
my /usr/local/bin folder with useless Python scripts.  (Useless because I
wrote them to learn the language and for no other practical purpose.)  Of
course, I had to uncomment a line or two in my .bashrc file too.

Hey, what do I know?  I'm as new to this as virgins are to...  Well, you get
the idea.  :-p

There are several things that I will never be:

  *  I will never enjoy the company of others.
Exactly how these realities bode for my enemy, is not of my concern.
