I understand the frustration, but I do agree with Glynn that sometimes 
hack solutions are worse than no solution, as they cover (and make us 
forget) the underlying problem. And as this is a fundamental issue, I 
think we just have to be patient until someone finds the best solution.

I'm no Python expert at all, and don't have much time currently to look 
any further into any of this, but have you tried the python launcher as 
a possible path as outlined in [1] ?
