Yes, Stuffit lite should be your ticket. Try www.versiontracker.com and search for Stuffit.

A bit more information about your system would help.

Here's another idea: Get a book like a Chun's Core Python Programming which has a CD-Rom with all the major Python distributions on it. It is a little out of date but not too much. But that assumes that you have a CD-Rom on your system.
