The PythonCd includes the Python distribution in several forms:

Installable Python packages

In the top level directory of the CD is a directory python/, containing several packages of Python:

Python for Linux - most Linux distributions include Python, so we don't provide it for them
Python for Mac OS X
Python for Windows, win32all extension
Python for DOS - no maintainer yet, so we only provide an URL
Python source code, if you want to compile it yourself

Ready-to-Use Python

On the bootable Linux system, Python is already installed and ready to run:

Python 2.3.4 (latest and greatest, use this!)
Python 2.2.3
Python 2.1.3

The older versions are provided for satisfying dependencies of other stuff and to be able to try compatibility of your source code.
