Good. Thanks for the heads-up on that.

I'm not sure that I can solve this for all platforms. However,
there is a work-around, I believe. You can use the --exec-path
command line option. Start generateds_gui.py with something like
the following:
$ generateds_gui.py --exec-path="python \path\to\generateDS.py"
And, if you find a path that you think would be true in general for MS
Windows, let me know about it. I can use sys.platform to determine
the platform and can automatically use that when generateds_gui.py
is running on MS Windows.

Actually, mine says v. 1.0a. Thanks for telling me about this.
I've updated it. And, I've added generateds_gui.py to the little
Python script that I run to update the version ID each time that
I create a new version.
