Nick,

 Thanks just the same for the help.

I tried a fresh copy of the script copied from the wiki on my mac mini
rather than on my windows machine, and I gave it a different name.  It now
runs, but gives me an error at a different stage:

josh at Myth-Backend:/store$ ./findzem.py
  File "./findzem.py", line 26
SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\xc2' in file ./findzem.py on line 26,
but no encoding declared; see http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for
details

So it's progress, but not yet success.  I think I saw a thread about
something like this in my searches earlier today, so I'll look there, but
in the mean time, this may jog someones mind.

Thanks!
