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:

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.
