I meant to include this with my other post but I forgot it.

Using a direct path to the Python interpreter can cause problems
on some systems because it is not always installed to the same
directory.  On my Debian-based system Python is installed in
/usr/bin.  So your code as written will not run on my system.
A workaround for this is to use env in the shebang/hashbang.

For Python 2:  #!/usr/bin/env python

For Python 3:  #!/usr/bin/env python3

It will not matter where Python is installed.  'env' will always
know where it is.
