Mac error

Hi Gwynne - I liked the look of this script as I've been having trouble aligning cameras from imported fbx scenes, however it returns, 

Error evaluating script:  RuntimeError, line 20; query failed.

Line 20 is:

filmHeight = lx.eval('item.channel apertureY ?')

I'm guessing this is relating to a missing Python library; I'm on a Mac however and thought Python was available by default. Is there an installation I'm missing?

Thanks by the way! Chris

It turns out that this is user error, not Mac error. But thanks again for this, sure to be useful.
