Thanks for asking. When you ask for help please tell us which version of 
Python and what OS you are running, and what (if any) errors or 
unexpected results you are getting. The more info you give us the easier 
it is for us to help.

Also be sure to reply-all so a copy goes to the list.

The directions you were given are hard to follow, and a lot depends on 
how your system is configured. Once we see the error you are getting we 
can better help.
