That's right; the only complaints we've ever had about that have been
my fault by forgetting to include some file in the installation.  For
a simple "unpack a bunch of files + uninstaller", it works great!

I've never had a problem with a distutils-generated installer, but I
haven't used a whole lot of them.  I've only used them with copies of
Python installed by the standard PythonLabs-produced installers
("Timstallers").
