[cs615asa] Python on Linux Lab

[Tejas]

Hey Rob,

Figure it out, didn't realize they had 2.6.5 and 3.1 on the Linux Lab. 
Looks like default is 2.6.5. I might switch to 3.1 if I get time after 
the assignment is done otherwise I'm just going stick with 2.6.5 for 
now. I was hoping for 2.7 because its not drastically different syntax 
but has some nice little features since I am coding on Ubuntu 11.10 
which has Python 2.7.2 as default.
