That should work if you run from the same directory.

Did you run this from Terminal or Smultron? Probably the program is 
displaying an error but you are not seeing it. Running from Terminal is 
the best way to ensure that you see all the program output. Once we see 
an error message we can help find the problem.

Try this:
- Open Terminal (from Applications/Utilities)
- Type
cd '/Volumes/UNTITLED/Programming stuff/My python stuff/'

(or whatever the correct directory is)
- Type
python demo.py

(or whatever you called your demo program)

Copy the output, paste it into an email and send to the list.
