Wow, I'm impressed!
To make it run on the mac I had to add tests for the existence of os.system
only. (So all statements "if os.system(...) > 0:" got to be "if hasattr(os,
"system") and os.system(...) > 0:").
There are however various other niceties that could be added to make it more
useful, can this be put into the repository or something?
