Well, Ton and DJ handed me the 64-bit install disks and said "get to 
it", and Stephen gave me a guest worker permit (actually, I assume he 
expects me to do Python stuff *too*) so I'm on it as we speak.  Not the 
best timing as final exams start this week, but I'll give it my best shot.

But back to the original post; the problem was a linux issue but we 
don't ship the linux release version with any python libs.  I thought 
the basic Python support was statically linked.
