Using python interpreter over a network

[Emile van Sebille]

I think it gets more involved than that.  I was trying to get it to work
this morning before I took off, and got to the point of being able to import
some win32 stuff, but not win32net.  That gave an error loading the dll - A
device attached to the system is not functioning.  I was able to get
regsetup.py to work, thinking perhaps Marks stuff was looking for that.

By now I've probably got things pretty well scrambled on that system.  ;-)
But I thought it could be convenient to have, so maybe I'll try again when I
get another hour or so.
