That's an interesting point...

Since Andrew is (as far as I recall) the current maintainer of Medusa, I
wonder whether he would be willing to bundle Medusa as a component of
Quixote? Although it might not get a lot of use in production settings,
it would give a batteries-included system that would allow for
cross-platform, out-of-the-box demo'ing.

Or put some PyPI magic into the installer to grab Medusa (python
setup.py install --ensure-medusa) if the customer doesn't have a Web server?

Perhaps I'm being Medusa-centric. I suppose a BaseHTTPServer-based
script would suffice. Either way, I think for demonstration purposes a
single-process approach is the simplest to set up and the only one
guaranteed to work in any environment.
