I had something similar and it turned out that my script had 'CRLF' line endings instead of 'LF' only, and this caused the problem. I believe that the problem has nothing to do with python, but with how the shell interprets the '#!' line. My editor allows me to re-save a file using a different format, so I saved it as 'unix', reran it, and it worked. HTH Frank Millman -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
