thanks to Alessandro Bruni for inventing this gem.
I can put python on my PC. But i am guessing this will not work on a windows machine. I figured by posting this some linux users would be able to use it. I am hopeing someone knows how to make this work on my windows xp machine.
Any help is greatly appreciated
