RE: ActivePython Win32 Installer Subset

[Echeverria Rabi, Cristian Rodrigo, TRANSELEC S.A.]

Of course I was just talking about ActivePython.
In general is really easy to make a small python distribution using the
standard python.
I do this all the time using Inno Setup, wich it is free.

On the other hand, I donīt like Microsoft Installer (maybe in the near
future
when it became an standard).
