Hi Lucian and All,
Thanks for the info. I'm glad I asked. Now that leads to another question. If I wanted to skip the redundant download and open the image-writer-mac file in Terminal from the larger download Tom G. posted (Sugar-Creation-Kit-ver05.iso) how would I do that? I have copies of that download both on my desktop and burned on a DVD.
change your directory in terminal to the location of .iso (ie: cd
/xxx/xxx)
(ls command will tell you where you are)
then issue the commands

P.S. Is there a handy dandy guide to commands for the Mac Terminal anywhere? Sort of an
"Idiot's Guide to the Mac Terminal" or "The Mac Terminal for Dummies?"

Those are two commands, separated by a semicolon. They could also be
done on separate lines (as two commands). cd ~/Downloads navigates to
your Downloads folder. You could also use ls to see what's inside.
Then the second command does the actual image writing.

Hi James,
You must not open it that way. You should open Terminal, and type
cd ~/Downloads; python image-writer-mac.py soas-2-blueberry.iso
Doing it this way should not cause PythonLauncher to be run. Can you
please confirm you were trying to open the file in a Finder window?
Right... I was trying to open it in a Finder window. I don't have a lot of
experience with the terminal. Do I type in exactly what you have above
including the ; or is is that a punctuation?
I'll try it tomorrow. It's about midnight here.
