Some feedback on Quixote 0.6b6:

Having forgotten what happened when I installed 0.6b5, I tried running
setup for 0.6b6 as supplied, and the installation crashed, presumably
because it could not find a C compiler to compile the htmltext
extension (I am running Windows XP).

As before, I opened setup.py and stupidly commented out a line of code
("kw['ext_modules']...") as recommended in the accompanying comment:

 if sys.hexversion >= 0x20200a1:
   # Comment out to use the Python implementation of the htmltext type
   kw['ext_modules'].append(htmltext)

Once again, the setup crashed, this time because in commenting out
that line of code I created an "if" statement with no body. The
remedy, of course, is either to delete the whole "if" statement or to
include a "pass" in its body which the dumb literal-minded programmer
will not comment out.

Could we please patch setup.py to add a "pass" statement between the
"if sys.hexversion..." and the comment?  This would be of great
benefit to myself and, I guess, the Three Stooges, or any other
absent-minded Quixote-in-Windows users out there.
