Really ?!?   I think you may be serious !!!  If it's true it is close to
unbelievable.  Isn't python "free" as a general rule ???
This is a stinky thing that MS would do !!!

The "copyright" statement doesn't mention anything about Apple.  Nor if
i type "license()"

    k9m:src brendan$ /usr/bin/python
    Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Feb  6 2009, 19:02:12)
    [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465)] on darwin
    Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

Anyway, I guess if it is true, then the easy work around is to install
an updated python from python.org :)

Cheers, Brendan.
