Temporary url for the installer is
http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/python-2.3.1-beta1.exe

Remarks:


Only .pyc files, no .pyo are compiled by the installer.
This is the
default, can be switched off in the "advanced options"
installation dialog.

In the selecte components dialog, 'Python HTML docs'
should be renamed to
'Python HTMLHelp docs'.

At the interactive prompt, 'help("BOOLEAN")' prints this:

  Python 2.3+ (#46, Aug 28 2003, 17:42:54) [MSC v.1200
32 bit (Intel)] on win32
  Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for
more information.
  >>> help("BOOLEAN")

  Sorry, topic and keyword documentation is not
available because the Python
  HTML documentation files could not be found.  If you
have installed them,
  please set the environment variable PYTHONDOCS to
indicate their location.

  >>>

I only tested Windows XP Pro, admin install (default
path, and path
containing spaces).

On Windows XP Pro, after installing to 'c:\path with
spaces', everything
seems to work, including IDLE (at least it starts, and
finds to chm
file).

All this is already in the 2.3.1 installer.
