 Run 'file !FoodForce2.activity/*.py' and look at the output.

 There are files there that do not have proper line-endings for Linux
 Python.  [Some have line-endings left by a Windows editor; some I can't
 figure out.]

 ----
 I found this when the !FoodForce2-1 Activity would not launch on an XO-1.5
 system -- some of the python files (e.g. load_images.py) had been written-
 over by binary garbage (those files were correct before the launch of
 !FoodForce2 was invoked), which in turn caused a Python error when it
 tried to execute (i.e., interpret) the now-garbage files.

 [I was able to bypass the over-writing_with_binary_garbage problem by
 setting all the .py files in !FoodForce2.activities to read-only.]

 I do not know what caused this improper over-writing with binary garbage
 -- but cleaning up the form of the Python files should be the first step
 towards fixing the failure-to-launch problem I experienced on the XO-1.5
