[Python.NET] running .net with standard 2.4.1 installation

[Bruce Dodson]

This is an old one but I'll follow up anyway...

If you are using PythonWin for that test, you have to put a 
copy of Python.Runtime.dll in the same directory with 
pythonwin.exe, i.e. lib/site-packages/pythonwin.

The same is probably true for other shells / host 
applications.  For example if you wanted to use .NET with 
AVPython, you would probably need a copy of 
Python.Runtime.dll in the same folder with arcview.exe.

I haven't tried putting Python.Runtime in the GAC, but that 
might do the trick too.
