3 - Brief Introduction
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was fed up of constantly going through the process of opening the host file and editing
with vi.
At the same time, I wanted to learn Python.
So I made this script. It still has a lot of useful things missing but it is a step in 
the right direction.
At the moment it is only compatible with Ubuntu (I have only tested on 12.04.1), this is something
I want to extend to Windows in the future.
You must still run the script with elevated privalidges too, this is something I want to incorparate
into the script.
Because it is so incomplete, I haven't called it version 1 just yet.

4 - Features/Change Log
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Add new entries to the host file.
- If an entry with the domain name already exists, it will overide the existing IP address.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5 - How To Use
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- You must have Python already installed onto your machine.
- Download HostFileEditor.py and store it somewhere.
- Simply run sudo python /path/to/HostFileEditor.py
--The sudo is necassary for editing the hosts file.
