that's Unix-only, or the runtime as well? I just looked at the link,
apparently the runtime is as well, but I'm not sure why (it wouldn't

IMO, anything that doesn't support Windows is at best peripheral to
this discussion (although PyRun itself sounds awesome, and I'd love to
see a Windows version!)
