I was recently playing with my vmware and found that the enthought python
distro installs and behaves very well. It has many handy modules bundled with
it (but I think that its at 2.3.3 if that makes a difference):

More windowsy users may have some thoughts about enthought. I don't use
windows except when I have to, so there may be something wrong with my
suggestion.
