Using python appcfg.py works too, because python is in the execution path (it is probably in /usr/bin/) and the python program takes a file name as an argument.
- python appcfg.py says, run python and use this file as input - ./appcfg.py says, execute this file. And the file starts with #! pointing to Python which means: execute this file using python So python ./appcfg.py, python appcfg.py and ./appcfg.py will all do the same thing. As you can see there is more than one way to skin a cat. Happy coding, Jeff On Apr 8, 4:16 am, leemajors <leemarr...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks jeff for your reply.
