------- Additional Comments From wilson@afn.org 2006-02-05 08:12 ------- If you're dead in the water, waiting for this bug to be fixed, I discovered that the ActiveState Python build of 2.4.3 *does* seem to install on Wine:

There is less flexibility (e.g. with the install directory), and I recall Wine spewing its normal set of complaints to the console, but a cursory test seems to show Python installed and working.
