[Tutor] Creating a path for Python to walk along

[Lloyd Kvam]

This is the easiest source of Python for someone who doesn't know their 
way around Windows configuration.  It will setup shortcut icons for 
running pythonwin.exe which provides a more Windows style program 
interface.  This is a less portable approach to Python, but could make 
it easier to get started.
