Either distribution is ok.  If you're planning to do Windows specific
stuff, the ActiveState version seems nicer because it's bundled with some
Windows-specific modules as well as a text editor called PythonWin.


I have to say, though, that I'm not the best person to ask about this: I
run Debian Linux on my home system, so I haven't really had too much
experience with the Windows stuff.  Sorry!

I wish.  *grin* I just graduated from Berkeley, and just have been able to
retain my email address at hkn.eecs.berkeley.edu.  Otherwise, I don't have
a formal affiliation with Berkeley.
