I am running this instance on Ubuntu - I am not a Windows user outside of
gaming (and have even migrated to Linux for that recently). I will share if I
can figure anything out, but at least with the version of Mystic I am running
(which may be a couple behind) I only see one option for using embedded
python, it is only looking for Python 2.7 libraries. I believe I could have
Mystic run any program too, so that might be an option, but I think I'd lose
the mysticbbs import and functions that come with it if I wanted to take
advantage of them.

Aside from a BBS (in dire need of some non-default art) I run and maintain a
few other gaming related servers like Minecraft, Final Fantasy XI and
anything else I care about. I'm looking to integrate the BBS with these other
systems - for example I will show who is online in each game and where
they are during the BBS login process, and maybe give some kind of "reward" in
each game for using the BBS to entice users to try it out (and play LORD of
course). With the lack of 'pip' support in 2.7 and 2.7 no longer recieving any
security updates or maintenace (its essentially dead), it is difficult to do
things like install a MySQL connector or other very useful libraries.

Happy to hear more on this topic if someone has thoughts. Thanks!
