Funny... I wish people would read the bottom of the message where is says'
No Cross Postings'. Brian was quite justified in doing so (although maybe
sending two messages would stop clueless people like you crossposting) but
are you not.

Learn how to install and use python. This isn't a problem. Even on a Windows
machine.

Actually, that is f^%$ing huge. It matters to a lot of people, and I would
have thought that would include a country as culturally diverse as the
states.

Please take the time to read was is going on properly before jumping in and
mouthing off like that.
