Ironically I remember the days when using Python on UNIX, not only I had to go online, I also had to compile it.

Or get the IT to install the respective C compiler.

All of them since Sun started selling developer tools as an additional package?

Plus just because there is a C compiler, it doesn't mean IT has made it available to common mortals, or allowed exec on $HOME for the clever dudes that try to sneak in one.
