So, my expectations is that if an activity developer chooses to bundle a
python module with the activity, it means that the version shipped with
the system was too old, or inadequate for some reason.

For example, a game could require a newer version of pygame. It's a
common technique for portability. Sometimes the system version works
better than the bundled version, but since Sugar has no way to tell, the
safest strategy is letting the activities decide.
