That's what we have found too. Now that Tk is in there also it is a
really convenient package.

It's not a stupid question. ActivePython has a feature that other
distributions of Python do not. It allows you to install packages over
the Internet. It is in the start menu and called "Package Manager". And
of course the equivalent is available for our Unix distributions through
the command line: "pyppm".
