what about dumping a local python install in $HOME/local/opt/mongrel-python if m2sh didn't find a version it likes? (yes, it's overkill)

  This is an insane idea. I should not have to have a whole other version of python just to run a language independent web server. The choice Zed made is a great choice--all the functionality of the original python m2sh is present in the new, and there's nothing external to support, or dump somewhere else.

    It's not that crazy. Python is designed for embedding. The interpreter is small. Commercial software that depends on Python (almost) always embeds it.

      I know this, however, Zed was using this for a shell command, not as an embedded scripting language.
