I was installing Python 3.2.1 on my laptop today, and was unable to efficiently use the keyboard in order to navigate the installation dialogs. Every button should have an accelerator, e.g. "Next" should be "&Next" so Alt-N will press it. (I don't know whether you use the ampersand notation or something else.)

Seems a reasonable idea, thoughts?

Should be there for 3.5 because I'm rewriting the installer.

Up to Martin whether he wants to change it for 3.4.

I confirmed now in the 3.10 installer on Windows that accelerators are working. Thank you!
