Sorry for the confusion, I was disagreeing with "suspicious, 
undocumented".. I think the PyProtocols installation process is fine 
as-is.  The fact that it is undocumented is a bug ( 
http://python.org/sf/901727 ), it was documented at some point in a 
file called USAGE.txt, which is no longer around.
