A network drive is not an option?  I use that with several software.  I
just update one copy and everybody has an updated copy of the software
the next time they run it.

What I miss is the option to update the already running clients when
they instantiate the class again, but then, this would probably include
performance penalties when there are no changes.

Have you found any problems with it?  I think that some missing CPython
modules prevented me to give it more attention, but now I don't even
remember which ones... :-(
