Correct me if I'm wrong, but... I don't think that the GPL 
requires that the source be distributed on the same media, just 
that it be "available".  In which case, simply having the 
appropriate pointers to www.python.org and/or Sourceforge should 
be sufficient.  But this *does* depend on the exact terms of the 
GPL, which you should verify for yourself.
