How is there any harm in offering 3 downloads? The obvious thing is to

as python today.
Confusing the hell out of users. Right now there is a lot more links on the
download page than it should (why offer both a tar.gz and a bz2 on the main
download page?). Another improvement would be to divide it by operating
system with an icon (and name, just the icon or the name is not enough to
most people). But this is of topic.
The python.org website should be redesigned, completely. But then
again, that's something for another thread ;) It's also not a
fundamental issue for this thread.
2) Having different python versions with various levels of completeness,
which could be broken in two:
a) only on the repository
b) offer different distributions on the main python site (-1)
Modulo a cleaner, simpler download page: Is it still -1?
I plan on bringing up the website design elsewhere, as that was
another thing at pycon 2009 which was brought up, but failed to escape
the atmosphere.
It was recently discussed on the pydotorg mailing list - with someone
even volunteering their time and submitting an example design that was
(in my opinion) excellent. Nonetheless, the pydotorg mailing list is the
correct one for website issues.
