Laura, I may just attempt this on the dev machine. I have mentioned
before that the production environment is running Python 2.6.x (I
think it is 2.6.6, but don't remember for certain.). Surely updating
Python on the dev to one very near the prod env is an improvement? And
if I am going to do that, I might as well install Git. And I will
probably throw in gVim, too. I have been pondering everyone's comments
to date, and it seems to me that I should be doing all of my
development on the development environment machine and it is thus
justifiable to add the tools I need to effectively do this (Again,
thanks for your thoughts, Cameron!). This seems more *sane*! Plus it
will save me tons of time.

Even though the link you gave was for a package add, I just *know*
there will be missing dependencies. Guess I will have to learn how to
resolve all the issues that come up. Should be fun!

Thanks, Laura!
