mcregion_to_anvil.py

## MCRegion to Anvil converter
##
## to use:
##
## Download http://libredstone.org/libredstone-0.0.0.tar.bz2, run
##     ./configure.sh
## and
##     make
## Make sure you have python and numpy installed. Then download
## this script into ./bindings/, cd into there, and run:
##
##     python mcregion_to_anvil.py path/to/old/ output/
##
## If you'd like, both paths can be the same, in which case level.dat
## is backed up to level.dat_mcr. Also if you'd like, you can `make
## install` libredstone then run this script from anywhere.
##
## It's like Jens' converter, but it produces a usable level.dat for
## (e.g.) Minecraft Overviewer. Also it's not java, which can be nice
## sometimes. Still no biomes though.

Thanks a million for this :D

Not working for me. I keep getting:

I ran python mcregion_to_anvil.py /Users/jon/Downloads/libredstone-0.0.0/bindings/input/target_world /Users/jon/Downloads/libredstone-0.0.0/bindings/output in the bindings folder, and output is where I want the converted file to appear.
