"Au contraire, as they say in England." - Steve X. Citement

Most UNIX-based (or at least GNU/Linux or BSD-based) Python users are
likely to have Python provided by their vendor together with a
"constellation" of packages. As long as the software they need is
packaged by their distribution, it's a matter of selecting the package
concerned; other packages upon which the desired software depends will
be installed automatically. You don't usually need to click through
some wizard ("next", "I agree", "next", "next", "next", "next",
"next", "finish"), either.
