Apologies, although it's not quite that simple. I access this list the
way it was originally intended -- through EMail. I replied "to all",
which default to both the list (by CC) and the person, and I forgot to
drop you from the reply.

If you use Google Groups, it's also best to read
http://wiki.python.org/moin/GoogleGroupsPython first.

Secondly, please don't top post.

It seems reasonable to post back this to the list, so I have.

As other's have responded, that's it.

What you can just do is send a .zip/.tar.gz/.tar.xz or other archive
format with all of the files they need to have. Normally I find it
nicest to just run like that (I personally reserve installing for the
things that benefit from it).

If you want installation as an option, then AFAIK the only option in
wide usage is http://docs.python.org/3/distutils/index.html. There may
be others, but you'd need to ask the experts about that.

Urm.. yes. But don't. That's the "nuclear" option and isn't a good
one. If you have a *really genuinely good reason* (you probably don't)
to do this, there are ways.
