Most people these days tend to favor specifying a direct path to Python
for two reasons:

* It's slightly less security risk (if something mucks with your path)

* You can use another command-line parameter if necessary

Python is the whitespace language, use lots of it -- appropriately, of
course:

alpha_list = [ chr(c) for c in range(ord('a'), ord('z')+1) ]
alphabet = ''.join(alpha_list)

You'll also notice that I've changed your Python 1.5.2 code to match more
current versions; if you sincerely are targetting 1.5.2, by all means
stick with what you have.
