Doh! I'm new to Linux and so I didn't know that, thanks!
One small snag though, it doesn't work on my system :-(
I did both steps, the shebang and the execute bit but nada...

r0g at steppa:~/Desktop/py$ ls
kickstart.py  kickstart.py~  kicktest.py  kicktest.py~
r0g at steppa:~/Desktop/py$ kickstart.py
bash: kickstart.py: command not found

Any ideas why this might be? A path thing? I'm on Ubuntu 8.04 / Py2.5

Thanks,

Roger.
