This is all good if you have root access.  However, if you want to use
python markdown for a website running on shared hosting, then there is
a good chance that you have limited access, so those methods are out
of the question.  I know _I_ don't have root access to the machine
where the python markdown wiki is running.  And believe it or not,
some people don't even have shell access to their hosts - only ftp.
Last year I had to try install mediawiki via ftp.  Don't get me
started on this.

So, it's good to document all of those methods, but we also need to
keep in mind the user without root access.
