Yes, just typing python takes me to my interactive prompt

The only module in the directory is called pyfind.py

Unfortunately, this problem is on my work computer, so I'm not in
front of it right now. I've done the development on this in
PortablePython, but I have python installed in C:/Python25 and that
should be in my path (I went though and added it). I've never run a
script that output to the command line before, only django apps.
Django will output stuff though, which makes me wonder if I've somehow
borked my stdout in the script. Not sure how I could have done that,
but I'll post the script I've written in the next post just in case
I'm somehow messing up the calls (although "print var" seems fairly
user-proof...). E: does refer to a removable disc.
