What would you man on a Windows box??? Not everyone has a unix shell,
and not everyone wants/needs one. None of our users use Linux/Unix.
They all use Windows XP or Mac OS X. So, you shouldn't assume that I'm
running Linux or some other type of Unix. I do as an admin/developer,
but that's not the point. The above python script will run on Windows,
Linux, OS X, etc. and it makes for much easier reading. This is a
python forum. So, you're off-topic.
