I too would love to be able to use this script, but I am totally new to Python and terminal.

Any advice on how to run this script would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Will

You should check a primer on using the Terminal/Unix in Mac OS X, but basically save the file to somewhere you can find easily, making sure it doesn't have the .txt extension. You can do a "Get info" in the finder and make sure "Hide extension" is unchecked to remove the .txt if it's there.

So say you save it in Applications, do the following in the terminal;


cd /Applications
chmod a+x site2template
./site2template OK
you probably need the "./" in front of the site2template since the terminal only searches certain places to find executables by default and whereever you saved it was not one of these directories. The "./" basically means "look in the directory I'm currently in"

Hope that helps.
