Hello Jordan,

If you're on a Windows system, you don't need to worry about the first
line.  The line:

###
#!/usr/local/bin/python
###

is called a "magic line", and Unix systems look at it when we want to make
our scripts executable as programs.  Windows doesn't do executables this
way (it does the .EXE way), so this top line isn't effective on a Windows
system.

By the way, which examples are you looking at?


Talk to you later!
