How can I get Python working in an existing NetBeans?

Question

I'm running a standalone ZIP of NetBeans 7.3.1 and I am wondering if it is to get Python support going with this. I know there is a standalone download for Python support, but I was hoping I could get it going in my install. Is this possible?

It provides decent plugins that allow for some python and jython dev functionality.

Edit:

In case you don't know how to add the plugin source in Netbeans you need to navigate to:

Tools > Plugins > Settings > click the "Add" button and add

http://deadlock.netbeans.org/hudson/job/nbms-and-javadoc/lastStableBuild/artifact/nbbuild/nbms/updates.xml.gz

as the URL. The python plugins will then be visible under "Available Plugins".
