Anyone can download Solaris 10 and run it in a Virtual Machine, in fact I
recommend it, it is a really interesting OS.  It does come with Python
2.4.4which is a pretty recent version of Python.  Obviously compiling
is less
appealing then easy_install though.  In addition, on some machines due to
configurations I may use, say a T2000 with the Niagra chip, I wouldn't
really want to compile software and potentially mess up a LDOM accidently.
