In the commercial environment I'm working in, non-developer end-users
get a frozen executable. They don't know that there are eight packages
not included in the standard library (including wxPython) in there,
unless they go looking in the licences directory. They don't even have
to install Python. Using a swarm of potentially awkward third-party
modules and keeping things simple for the user are not incompatible.

Of course, going back to Dabo there is the question of whether it has
such a thing as a non-developer end-user.
