which in fact is a simple tar file or shell archive (I have no access
to a HP box from home and I can't remember exactly). Thus you can
unpack the depot file wherever you want, correct the directory
layout and use it. Of course this works only for location
independent (ie. well designed) packages. Python is one of these.
