basic python problem

I wrote a script before that had no problem, and now I’m updating it. It runs python to manipulate some outside files only, no calls to the blender lib itself.

Now I can’t get squat. I get errors, but my prints are not showing up on the console! Without at least print statements, I can’t debug at all.

Using 2.57b 64 on Win 7.
thanks

edit: argh! just discovered that bad syntax later in the script will cause earlier commands to not be executed. Guess there’s a pre-parsing pass, thought this was a simple interpreted language. :?

So, umm… solved?

yeah, thanks though.
