Hmmm. I have the same complaint about Python.  I tend to like anything 
that can be compiled into a more or less standalone binary.
The current Python tools have a whole chain of dependancies and I often 
find that this kind of thing ends up leaving me in a situation where I 
have conflicting dependancies.
I just love staicaly compiled binaries or somthing that at most requires 
the libraries you get with a stock libc install.

I have not looked at the sHype tools but it may be that they can be 
compiled with gcj and turned into a static binary.
