--- Comment #1 from Anastasius Focht  ---
Hello folks,

invalid.

Whoever provides/bundles the Python libary at the VPython website seems not
aware about API/ABI dependencies to upstream.

You can't distribute a custom Python library based on an older upstream Python
version and at the same time refer to a newer upstream Python package, mixing
them together. Sheesh.

Also some howto instructions are seemingly wrong.
Why does 'python27.dll' need native override?
