I agree - downloading the source distro yields some goodies that would be nice in the binary distro - many windows folks won't d/l the source since many of them don't have a C compiler, especially the "VB" types. I nominate Alex as "Mr. WinBin" ;) Regards, David LeBlanc Seattle, WA USA

Just helped some people on the Italian Python mailing list find some indispensable tool (Tools/i18n/pygettext.py, in this specific case) and they expressed astonishment that the tool isn't in the standard Windows binary distribution, which was all they had downloaded. This set me to wondering -- is there any reason why this and other tools &c should NOT be included in that binary? Could we add them in 2.2.2 and later releases?
