Thanks kovid, I'll definitely look into this. Because...

Turns out renaming with .py won't work at all at this point. This is because I named the library "pielrf"... and when you run "pielrf.py" and it tells python to look for the pielrf library, python looks in the current directory first, finding "pielrf.py" ... the executable you just ran. All sorts of mayhem ensues.

You're absolutely right about this being an important "feature," as it does make the Windows execute with python without having to know any path rigamarole. I'll figure out a solution, but it's going to have to wait until my next release (renaming the library, for example, is more than I want to do this time around).

At this point, I'm going to post a test download so I can check out the .zip file, and after I get that checked out, I'll post the current, and long-delayed, update.

PS I can see why you want Linux/Mac people to deal... Poor windows users have to deal all the time, and they get really tired of it... or so I hear. Kidding.... Kidding...
