Depending on the version of GIT and Python installed, the perforce program (p4) may not resolve on Windows without the program extension.

Check the operating system (platform.system) and if it is reporting that it is Windows, use the full filename of "p4.exe" instead of "p4"

The original code unconditionally used "p4" as the binary filename.

This change is Python2 and Python3 compatible.

Thanks to: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> and  Denton Liu <liu.denton@gmail.com> for patiently explaining proper format for my submissions.

Hi Ben,

First of all, as a note to you and possibly others, I don't have much
(read: any) experience with git-p4. I do have experience with Python and
how git.git generally does things so I'll be reviewing from that
perspective.

Nit: "GIT" should be written as "Git" when referring to the whole
project and "git" when referring to the command. Never in all-caps.

Also, please wrap your paragraphs at 72 characters. I'll say it once
here but it applies to your whole series.

As a rule of thumb, we want to state the problem first before we state
what we did (and why). I'd move this paragraph up.

I appreciate the credit but I don't think it's necessary. At _most_, you
could include the

tags before your signoff but I don't think we've done anything to
warrant it.

You should remove this line in all of your commits. The referenced
commit isn't public so the information isn't very useful. Also, try to
not include anything after your signoff so if this hypothetically were
useful information, you'd include it before your signoff.

If it's information that's ephemerally useful for current reviewers but
not for future readers of your commit in the log message, you can
include it after the three hyphens...

I don't think this comment is necessary as the code itself is pretty
self-explanatory.

You have trailing whitespace here. Try to run `git diff --check` before
committing to ensure that you have no whitespace errors.

Thanks,

Denton

Got it. I'll update all my commit messages to fit within this space.  I 
didn't realize
they didn't word wrap properly. (I'm using a GUI tool to manage this.)

Thank you, I'll keep that in mind for the next submission!

I'll look to pull these out before I update my submission.
