i just downloaded the newest source, and i found some new files: getheader.py, addzip.py, console_README (a unix executable), and a file called pyconsole.h.
yes python scrips will be able to run :) it is much more powerful than the current console, there will be a readme for it, as you see. the other files are just for compiling, so unless you know what you are doing, leave them be.
