gm-from-cvs.sh is a *shell* script, not a Python script, so just do (in the 
shell):

        $ ./gm-from-cvs.sh

There is also a gm-from-cvs-macosc.sh available which
wasn't, however, included in the tgz due to an oversight.
*However*, it isn't necessary either, gm-from-cvs.sh should
do just fine. I just double-checked and removed
gm-from-cvs-macosx.sh from CVS.

gm-from-cvs doesn't exist (only gm-from-cvs.sh)

gm-from-cvs.sh lives under client/.

Here Python finds the file which, however, won't help as
gm-from-cvs.sh isn't a Python module but a shell script.
Hence Python correctly complains about seemingly faulty
Python code in what actually is a shell script.

It explains the problem with Python on MacOSX but does not
explain that you cannot run shell scripts with Python ;-)

Simply do

cd client/
./gm-from-cvs.sh

That really *should* work to some degree.

Thanks for your effort,
