True - perhaps I should have been more explicit. On the Mac instructions, it should have python at the beginning of the line. I wasn't trying to suggest the Windows instructions needed to be changed!

Of course, there is a way to not have to type python on the Mac. If you ad the correct shebang to the script and set the permissions so the file is executable.

I know that, but I figured it was a whole lot simpler just to have the instructions tell you to type python at the beginning of the command - its only six characters.
