[Pythonmac-SIG] Where's the output?

[Barron Snyder]

Well, I tried all of the submitted suggestions (Thanks everyone!) but 
everything was setup as it was supposed to be.

tmk's idea however, panned out. It was the line endings! In OS X, I use 
BBEdit and didn't realize that it was defaulting to mac line endings 
rather than unix line endings. Actually, until tmk mentioned it, I 
wasn't aware that you could save a file both ways in OS X. I thought 
everything was unix. But why doesn't this throw an error?

Thank you one and all!
