Python giving double output

I was getting some odd output from my python script and narrowed it down. I took the code and isolated it into it's own script for testing . .

I have 2.6 installed, and apparently 3.1,

./usr/bin/python2.6 gives a pydialoge

The problem is that you've called your script string.py, then you are importing string (which is the script itself) so it gets run twice.
