Python, BASH, and XKCD: Part 2

My little script is coming along nicely.  Unfortunately blogger doesn't respect the spacing, so you'll have to rework the spacing for yourself at the moment, but it'll give you a chance to examine the code.

To make full use of it you will need the following:

1. sudo apt-get install espeak*
2. Install the latest version of xcowsay from the website, which involves compiling it unfortunately (I have a bash script that will take care of it for you though)
3. A picture of a sandwich called sandwich.jpg
4. EITHER have the JPG located at /media/DATA/Pictures/sandwich.jpg OR change line 37
5. Python installed, obviously, but if you use Linux that should be installed out of the box

Limitations:

1. Unless you spell it exactly as it reads in the text, i.e. all lower case, no punctuation, it will read it as not being equal to either "make me a sandwich" or "sudo make me a sandwich".
2. You have to manually close the JPG of the sandwich in order to allow the script to finish.
