Jason, In order to make python scripts executable, put a line like this at the top of the file:
#!/usr/bin/env python You can also call it directly, like this: #!/usr/bin/python For your sdl-dev problem, run 'sdl-config --cflags' from the command line. There should be an option printed which says '-I/usr/include/SDL' though the path may be slightly different. Try to see if the header file is there by doing an 'ls -l /usr/include/SDL/SDL.h' (substituting the path returned in the previous command if it was different). If either of these steps don't work, that means that your sdl-dev package is not installed.
