Depends on what we do, I guess. Right now I open the popup and redirect
to the tarball, which means that the browser will display a blank page
afterwards.

I guess the whole thing is pretty difficult to do properly. At least
I've never seen it done properly anywhere. I'm meeting someone with more
experience tomorrow (I hope). Maybe he has some ideas.

It's not as important as the windows/python thing anyway. (Will try your
new build just after sending this away, btw.)
