My currently understanding is that the ActivePython installer will 
prompt for administrator privileges if required. I know that if the 
current user is a member of the administrators *group* (different from 
being the "Administrator" *user*), that this is sufficient to install 
and use ActivePython.

I've started this bug:
   http://bugs.activestate.com/show_bug.cgi?id=80974
to test installation as a user that is not a member of the admin group 
and to update the ActivePython installation docs with that info.

I'd appreciate comments on your experiences, esp. if it looks like 
something is going awry with the ActivePython installer.

Sincerely,
Trent
