I also agree that it should be easy to install Cheetah without a compiler.

The two options I see are either a) to add an argument to the setup.py build
command to specify if you want the C extensions compiled. or b) provide
pre-compiled binaries or eggs of the current version.

Generally, I have seen more of the latter, but one project I work on (PyAMF
http://pyamf.org) uses optional build arguments to add the C extensions so
that it never fails to build or install from source.

Cheers,

Jacob
