I suppose this conversation should make a distinction, which may make entire
differences disappear.
- the engine the implements the dynamic nature of the language
- the compiler, which takes something written in the language and packages it
into a language-neutral form

The proliferation of custom config files has been the bane of my existance,
lately. :) And I just spent another night wrestling around with the
propagation of environment variables.
My boss keeps saying that computers and programming are hard. I don't see that

and object streams as first-class constructs. I'm perfectly
As long as there's a programmatic way to set everything (perhaps with the helper methods on PythonEngine like Jim mentioned), you create any config-based scheme you want.

Great job geeting 0.7.4 out the door!!
Thanks for the heads up that it's possible to just grab the Lib
directory from Python-2.3.5 and replace the IPython/bin/Lib directory
to get the ball rolling...
One big question comes to mind now that I have all those nice stdlib
