[Eric Pettersen]

Also, the actual line of code being executed to open the file would be helpful.

A simple test for opening Python files: have your user save a Chimera session file and then open it.  Chimera 1 session files are Python files, so if that works, there's not a problem opening Python files.

I've gotten the program working just fine on the majority of systems but one of my clients attempted to use the application and noticed it's having a breaking point or issue (on his particular Windows Vista system) when the application tries to open the python file. Windows itself recognized the exact path and location and can open the file on other computers just fine.
