Ok, I just found out that the script works as-is under Windows (I need to save it as 'pre-commit', not as 'pre-commit.py'. That's great, though I still don't understand how Windows (or Git) knows how to do with it. And under Windows chmod +x does not exist, which means the hook is always ready to be used. This is exactly what I want in this case, but in general this poses a security risk regards, Albert-Jan -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
