I would like to see Python in use as much as anyone. However, I am not sure
we are doing users or ourselves much of a favor encouraging pieces of the
language be distributed in so many kits.

I do not know, but it does not seem that Java has much of this problem.
Everyone seems to know that Java should be installed on the system. There
is a clear way to have multiple versions of Java on one system.

There would be benefits in having a well structured way to do it. I am not
suggesting that other ways should be prohibited.

This approach would fit well with the Python maxim to pick one really good
way to do it.
