That's not true - Python can be downloaded for Windows in a lovely, easy to
use pre-packaged binary installer:
http://www.python.org/2.2.1/
Direct download link: http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.2.1/Python-2.2.1.exe
I use it for all kinds of things (it can do some great stuff on Windows -
the scripting language is totally cross platform compatible anyway and when
you add stuff like the Windows COM extensions it becomes a powerful way of
scripting and programming on the Windows platform).
