I've just finished packaging up a new drop of Python for SGI Freeware
(still 2.1.1).

Hopefully it should fix a number of problems in the last release (files
were directories).

In addition I've enabled the cd and al modules, and I now ship the Tools
(I needed the compiler for quixote) (although not installed, you'll have
to do something like cd /usr/freeware/lib/python2.1/Tools/compiler ;
python2 setup.py install; for any tools you want installed).

You can get an alpha version here..

If there's any problems with it, let me know we'll be freezing the next
freeware distribution at the end of the week.
