I'm an English major who hacks scripts together to do things as needed.
I used this code from the Python Cookbook for years.

I spent half a day trying to convert this bash script (on Mac)

It works if I save the above into a shell script called convert.sh and then do

Just upgraded to Mavericks, the new OS X, Python is:
Python 2.7.5 (default, Aug 25 2013, 00:04:04)
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 5.0 (clang-500.0.68)] on darwin
Type help, copyright, credits or license for more information.
(On Mountain Lion, it was 2.7.2. You can install Python 3 using
ones and some Prince ones) and convert
it to Python so I can fix it myself, because I don't know Ruby at all, and
would rather work in Python.

Any pointers?
Thanks a bunch,

I am a mere hobbyist programmer, but I think real programmers will

paths instead and remove all doubt.

Okay, I'll go with what Aahz said:
I've seen similar issues on Win7.
AFAIK, this has nothing to do with Python.
