[FLASH-USERS] Running FLASH4.3 on Mac

Hi Ritam,

I also know that the FLASH script does not yet play nice with Python 2, so if you're using  Python 3 that may be an issue.

Best,

John

Is it possible that you inadvertently edited the setup.py script, perhaps by deleting a tab and re-inserting some spaces?
