Well, we had a couple of snags along the way, and some things got done out of order, but all three phases are complete. The only caveat is that I haven't found out how to package windows executables correctly. While setup.py can create an exe, it seems the files get distributed in the wrong directory (c:\Python26), and my attempts to correct this only end up in files not being installed at all. I imagine it has something to do with admin rights, but I'm not sure. As such, I've disabled the use of setup.py on windows, and the only option for installing right now is to unzip the archive and run locally. Sorry.
