ActivePython or Python2.2.3+win32?

[JZ]

Who can explain me what is the advantage of ActivePython over (1)
standard Python 2.3.2 instalation (from www.python.org)
plus (2) the latest win32? (I am using win32 box, of course).
In past I was using Active Python. I dropped it because of I needed
tha last Python version and ActivePython was for a long time compiled
for Python 2.2 only. I found the same features of both solutions, so I
can see no reason to back to ActivePython.

Convenience (win32all as standard, package system for modules not part
of the base ActivePython distribution), and integration testing of the
packages they provide, I imagine. No big deal IMHO, but maybe
somebody knows better.

Docs are better. CHM file including a Dive into Python, the FAQ, PEPs, the
complete python docs and then some more in a format which is easy on the
eyes.

Thank you, this is a message with valuable information, worthwile to be
published in comp.python.ann ounce

I have sympathy for your reasoning, hopefully the feedback of the Python
community at large can help even more.

kind regards, Gerrit
