And just to make some of the other bits more explicit, which you've probably already worked out anyway: first, you don't need any of the quotes, since none of the filenames have spaces or other weird characters. Second, /usr/local/bin is likely already in your path. Third, if you are also already in the directory with AtoB.txt, all you need is probably $ python /Users/Chinook/PythonProjects/MyUtilities/ConvertFile.py AtoB.txt (unless you've written the script in such a way that it needs the absolute path) A _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
