One drawback appears to be it's reliance on ActiveState (which has to
consider such things as profit - and it also provides ActivePerl ;-).
There was a long period when nothing happened with ActivePython, which
no doubt alarmed many people.

However, I do love the windows help format of the Python docs,
ActivePython might be worth it just because of them!
