Why Activestate Python ?

[Fuzzyman]

Again... a silly newbie question which might have an obvious
answer.... but *why* is their an alternative distribution of python by
activestate ?

Apart fromt he fact that they bundle Mark Hammond's Windows Extensions
with it (in the windows version) - what is to be gained from using
their distributio instead of the 'normal' one ?
