I know I'm coming to the conversation late, but here's what I do*: 1. Use Cygwin. (http://www.cygwin.com/) 2. Use PuttyCYG (http://code.google.com/p/puttycyg/) That way, you can basically use PuTTY to shell into your Windows box. Note: If you are familiar with the Linux command line, you will be in love with this solution. If you're a Windows-only type, then be forewarned that doing this will require you to type Unix/Linux commands (for the most part) instead of DOS commands. *Disclaimer: I use a Mac and Linux. This is my workaround when forced to use Windows. Your environment preferences may vary. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
