Don't comment out those strings, you'll find them more useful in
Idle if they are there.

As someone else said, use both a better string constant and a list,
since main looks at "args[0]".
If nothing else:
main([r"\\Iceman\propod\flash\xml\webService\XmlData\Authors\Heidi"])
To investigate the idle environment, simply add:
if __name__ == "__main__":
print "to main"
main([r"\\Iceman\propod\flash\xml\webService\XmlData\Authors\Heidi"])
else:
print 'Sorry, __name was %r, not "__main__".' % __name__
