Hi Jacob, That works for me. If we run into issues, and I had the py files I could probably debug the linux support and send the revisions back to you as needed. Not sure what version of Python you are running, but I got Python 2.7 here. It might be helpful to know what version of Python you are using so we can factor that into testing here.
Cheers!
