The script has execute permission so far as I think, but anyway I ran chmod +x on the file...

my first script included #!/usr/bin/env python, but it failed (error message) it couldn't find python, thats why I googled  and found: http://macosx.com/forums/unix-x11/46163-how-do-i-run-python-script.html
that is why i used /usr/bin/python.

I just got the tip in forum to check for the line-endings in the file, they might cause the problem, so I will check that.

But anyway, is there any other possible reason why I fail?
Is there any Mac-User with Python-Script-Mapcalc experience?
