Tidying up Python

[Bjarne D Mathiesen]

I'm aware of those issues.

I'm having at least 3 Terminal windows open
1) normal user w/ bash shell
2) admin user [su admin] & bash shell
3) admin user as root [su admin] & [sudo bash]

Usually, I've much more to do as [root] that just adminstering MP
eg changing owners & permissions for dirs & files to _www & _mysql
Always having to prefix w/ sudo is a PITA
