[Pythonmac-SIG] Which Python are people going to use?

[Bob Ippolito]

Sort of.  It depends on what versions of Windows you care about.  The 
older ones don't ship with the version of the runtime that Python 2.4 
is built against.  It's just a dll that you need to get in their hands, 
but you'll need to read the license to see if you're allowed to 
redistribute it or not.

In any case, win32 licensing is totally off-topic for here.
