Also, please be warned.  If you use a unix system, or a linux
system.  There are lots of problems you can get into if you
expect something named 'test' to run your code.  Because they
already have one in their shell, and that one wins, and so ...
well, test.py is safe.  But if you rename it as a script and call
it the binary file test ...

Bad and unexpected things happen.

Name it 'testme' or something like that.  Never have that problem again.

Been there, done that!
