Wha? "Place all runnable scripts directly above any used packages?" I
must have missed something major in this thread. The only thing
necessary is to have the package being imported to be somewhere in
PYTHONPATH.

I don't think we mean the same thing by "zero-installation"... seems to
me that if you have to copy it, check it out, or anything to get the
code from point A to point 'usable on your computer', then you have done
some sort of installation.
