(gulp) newbie question - portablity of python

[Keygrass]

Oh, I see now.  I have to install Python.   I certainly don't mind
installing Python on my home computer; no problem there.  But I don't have
access to install Python at the unix workstation at my job.  :-(  They use
unix on the Sun systems, I believe.

I could ask a network adminstator if he or I could install Python.  But ...
I don't think it will receive a warm welcome since many files (I strongly
believe they are text based, but I am not 100% sure) are highly sensitive.
I figured they don't want any unnecessary program lurking on the hard
drives, regardless of the benevolence Python could do for us.  Well, I
suppose I will eventually have to ask.  But until then, I need to first back
up my claim with a reliable Python program.

Thanks, I appreciate it.
