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 #!

Thanks jeff for your reply. I managed to get this to work by typing
"python appcfg.py" from withinthe directory.
I haven't tried ./ but will try that soon. Why would my solution have
worked? I'm curious...

Hi leemajors,
I imagine ./appcfg.py should work. The execution path in Ubuntu does
not usually include the current directory (.) but you could check by
running echo $PATH.
Thank you,
Jeff
