One of the small problems of pl/python is going to similar to pl/perl...
many linux distro's don't come with a shared object library for python,
but come w/a static library only.

pl/python will work w/a static library (if you uncomment the lines in the
makefile to link all the modules against it directly); we can add a line
to the faq about where packages, if any, are for python.so.
