HI Tom, This message answers a couple of questions but not the one you really need - whats going wrong?!
> I then ran this from a DOS window, and tried to redirect the -v > output to a text file, so I could include it, but nothing I did was > successful. I can't imagine why the output wouldn't redirect, but > it would not. the file remained empty. Redirecting in DOS only puts stdout into the file but Pythons out put would be going to stderr so doesn't go to the file. However you can cut n paste from the DOS box using the menu that appears under the top left icon. You can use Edit->Mark to select the text to copy then Edit->Copy to grab it for pasting into an email. You can also make Marking the default behaviour of a DOS box by changing the properties from the same menu - select QuickEdit mode. Sorry I can't help with the real issue however!
