Installer Packages

This is a new OPUS Installer that builds on the excellent work of the python(x,y) installer

It uses Python 2.6.2, and all packages have been tested with this version.

Installed Python Packages

290MB. About 10 minutes to install once downloaded. Initial download time will depend on speed of connection.
