Move code specifying the location of Python source out of the .src (shell script) files.

The script file Scraper_full_json.sh contains a conditional statement to set the location of Python for the host computer. This code is near line 22. There is similar code in Scraper_Twitter.sh.

Suggest to move this customization out of the code base and into a configuration file. The config file would not be included in a Git pull. A similar strategy would be to require that the host computer be set with an environmental variable or PATH stmt. The latter solution would be described in documentation. The goal is to ensure the the proper version of Python will be found in any new environment without modifying the project code base.

That sounds like a good idea.
