And just to make some of the other bits more explicit, which you've 
probably already worked out anyway: first, you don't need any of the 
quotes, since none of the filenames have spaces or other weird 
characters. Second, /usr/local/bin is likely already in your path. 
Third, if you are also already in the directory with AtoB.txt, all you 
need is probably

$ python /Users/Chinook/PythonProjects/MyUtilities/ConvertFile.py 
AtoB.txt

(unless you've written the script in such a way that it needs the 
absolute path)
