The only way I can read this to make sense is that you somehow consider the Python installation as part of your development environment (you mentioned source control earlier in the thread - surely you don't manage your Python installation in source control - binaries, stdlib, etc?). I can't see why you would do this, and it certainly doesn't seem like a reasonable thing to do to me. Can you clarify?
