Well that's because for everything but Windows (?) you only get Tools if 
you download the source. IIRC the Tools directory comes in the binary 
installer (or, at least, I have it somehow in my Windows Python 2.4, but 
not in my Cygwin Python 2.4. So I mentioned source, but the bottom line 
is that the code is accessible, even if you have to poke around for it.

Generally speaking I try to remain platform agnostic.

Since you are looking for a "low tech" solution (i.e. broadly available 
on most platforms) FTP might just do the job.
