It's slowly dawning on me that some people don't ship Python *with* their
apps.  What are you, nuts <0.9 wink>?  From PySol to Zope, everyone who
gives a rip about stability ships the software they develop with.

I see I have 12 copies of the Microsoft C runtime library on my Win98 box at
the moment, and for the same reason:  serious Windows app developers are
careful to isolate themselves from C runtime changes too.
