Syntax error when running SWProxy on Mac

[sougie91]

Running python SWProxy returns

File "SWProxy", line 1
SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\xcf' in file SWProxy on line 1, but no encoding declared; 
see http://python.org/dev/peps/pep-0263/ for details

Thoughts?

Also @sougie91 it might be helpful for them to have your operating system type and version.

@sougie91 Are you trying to run the osx binary (the 15MB file) with python? if you're using python directly, you want to grab the source (via git or zip download) and run:
python SWProxy.py

The SWProxy file is an executable - just double click it to run.

Considering it says File "SWProxy", line 1, not SWProxy.py, I'm going to guess he tried to run the executable itself. Feel free to re-open the issue if that's not the case.
