On a mac, my command line is:

/usr/local/bin/pythonw scriptname.py "bookname w spaces.pdb" anydir/ "Name On Card" last8digitsofcard

While I am sitting in the directory that has scriptname.py and bookname.pdb in it. "anydir" doesn't have to pre-exist. And, the code says you only need the last 8 digits of the card, so that's all I bother with.

Or <path-to>/scriptname.py if it isn't in the current path. For example: ../../scriptname.py
