Updating the install_with_python.sh python version

[Ricky Nance]

Andrew, it might not hurt to have a check, look in /tmp for the tarball,
then use rsync (if available), if not, try wget, if not try XXX (not sure
what solaris, freebsd, or any others have by default), if those fail, then
error and tell the user to download the file manually to (say /tmp?) .

Just a thought,
Ricky
