Hi Peter:

I've got several (!) versions of python ... depending on which one I 
use, I get a different error. In two cases, I use:

> $ fontswith ~/Library/Fonts/ U+2605



With version 3.1 it complains:

>                           ^

But if I use version 2.3.5, it tells me:

> File "./fontswith", line 66
