python for windows

I'd like to revisit the issue of shipping Windows package with their own Python/PyXML. By now I use Aaron's python extensions all the time, they are immensely useful. Not as convenient as native solutions would be, but still a lot of fun and an important part of my design work. The current instructions page for Windows: http://wiki.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?GettingEffectsWorking/Windows is way too scary for an average user. Python alone might be OK, but PyXML on top of that is certainly too much. I think very few dedicated users would venture into this. So, what do you think about including a minimum Python/PyXML into the Windows installer and enabling extensions by default? I think the file size increase won't be intolerably big. -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

It would be nice to have it in all those apps, but we also need it on all platforms where Inkscape run, so we can close RFEs like this (for an object palette): https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=604309&aid=1262745&group_… -- nicu
