I think Thorsten's advice is helpful (in the sense that it solves
the problem, and is IMO pragmatic also), but I *still* wouldn't
put it on the Python download page, for fear of the flak from the
security folks who start screaming that the PSF should never give
such advice. I would personally think they would be wrong, but still
revert giving the advise under public pressure.

In any case, Python 2.6.1 will approach this problem in a different
way.

Martin
