Eric,

The following occurs to me:

Pluses of Run under the existing python:
  1/ Smaller downloads
  2/ Code written and tested in the IDE will usually run fine outside of 
the IDE
  3/ Not needing different builds for different OSs
  4/ If there is a problem in Eric the users can debug
Minuses:
  1/ Dependencies need to be met so installation can be more complex.
  2/ Eric might not run in some environments because of dependency 
conflicts.
  3/ Eric may run a little slower.

Personally I think that the pluses out way the minuses.
