I will kill my Python

[Dan Rolander]

Well said Mike.

Although I have found ways to create minimal private distributions and
single exe packages, it's not easy. There needs to be a better deployment
solution for Python scripts. I'm sure I'll get bashed by those who think I
should just install the full Python distribution on any machine that I want
to run a script on, but I support about 25,000 Windows desktops and that's
just not feasible.
