Don't run with ActiveState Python. Run with the official win32 python
from the python guys themselves. There were some issues with
ActiveState, but I can't remember what they were. Could be that they are
fixed now, but I still think relying on the official distribution is
better when available (the python guys put out a win32 binary
distribution, unlike for example perl (last time I checked)).
That said, this is good news indeed :-)
