XP.

I did set a Path to coloryze: C:\Python\Lib\coloryze.py (my computer, 
advanced, system variable, user variable). So i could run coloryze form 
the XP prompt. I now realize that it is maybe not smart to access 
another python program this way,... But since typing 'coloryze 
--monochromatic --total=6 ' running from the prompt worked, I'd think 
that the same should be possible from Python. Hope you can help me out!
