This how-to is based on the XFCE 4.8 desktop running on top of Ubuntu 11.04.
The easiest way to get this configuration is to install Xubuntu.
http://www.xubuntu.org/
Or from any Ubuntu distribution one can install the XFCE meta package
from Synaptic and choose XFCE from the boot manager at login.
First, install Wine.
I installed version 1.3.15 via Synaptic.
Download the Python 2.7.2 Windows installer. (Other versions should
work as well.)
Accept the ‘open with Wine’ option and proceed with the
installation as normal.
Download the rpyc win32 exe from here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/rpyc/files/main/3.1.0/
Accept the ‘open with Wine’ option and proceed with the
installation as normal.
For the latest and greatest, download PyScripter.zip from here:
http://code.google.com/p/pyscripter/downloads/list
Unzip it and drag and drop the exe onto your desktop.
Double click on the exe and Wine will intercept it and run it automagically.
Or download the current PyScripter Setup.exe from here:
http://code.google.com/p/pyscripter/downloads/list
Accept the ‘open with Wine’ option and proceed with the
installation as normal.
Applications menu>Wine>Programs>PyScripter>’your choice’
Both configurations seem to work flawlessly with the embedded
interpreter and the remote instance.
Enjoy,

Is it needed if you skip the install and use the non-reg exe from the zip file?

Ah, got it. Will amend the How To and repost.
