Hmm. Ick. That probably requires grabbing the source and compiling it
oneself. My understanding is that Python requires VC++ to compile.
(Compiling Python is probably a bit of a stretch for me on Windows...of
course I've done it on Linux and have to do it again in another week or
two when the server I'm using upgrades the core and gets a newer version
of gclib.)

I'm a bit leery of using modules that require stuff like this that isn't
default. I want to be able to distribute my code, and if most people are
going to have "new" available to them, then a module that uses it isn't
easy to distribute.
