[Tutor] Permissions Problem

[Lloyd Kvam]

The python script was mangled by some Windows processing so that the lines
are marked with \r\n rather than \n.

You need to remove the extra \r characters from the script.  Believe it or not,
but that will foul up the shebang processing (at least on some systems).
