I'm sure writing English text like "make sure you have python 2.4 before downloading this package" is not abnormal :) How do you expect to prevent users from downloading your package if they don't have python your package needs? It could be useful if there was a tool to silently download and install python, but I'm sure it is a pain to code and support such a tool, so nobody was crazy enough to do it. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
