I have the following:

Is this why I keep getting an error using launcher?  Also to open the script in terminal do I need to put the following at the beginning of my script:  #!/bin/python

On python.org it states to To run your script from the Terminal window you must make sure that /usr/local/bin is in your shell search path.
