You don't want to use PYTHONPATH for pointing to the python executable. PYTHONPATH is for telling python where to look for modules. What you need to do is set PATH to point to where the python exectuable lives (probably C:\Python24) and you might want to add the scripts directory as well (c:\Python24\Scripts). To do that, right click on 'My Computer' select 'properties'. In the dialog that appears select the 'Advanced' tab. Click the 'Environment Variables' button near the bottom of the dialog. In the System variables section of the new window look for a variable named 'Path', and edit its contents to include C:\Python24 and C:\Python24\Scripts. Each entry should be separated by a semi-colon. There is also a way to do this by editing the registry which I'm sure you could find by doing a google search. I'm a little surprised that python doesn't do this by default, or at least give it as an option during installation. Matt -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
