On behalf of the Python development team and the Python community, I'm happy to announce the release of Python 2.4.1 (release candidate 1).
Python 2.4.1 is a bug-fix release. See the release notes at the website (also available as Misc/NEWS in the source distribution) for details of the bugs squished in this release.
I'd like to encourage feedback on whether the Windows installer works for people. It replaces the VBScript part in the MSI package with native code, which ought to drop the dependency on VBScript, but might introduce new incompatibilities.
Regards, Martin
Hi Martin,
is there a reason why msiexec iterates through what looks like all (?) files and directories in/under the destination directory? There is massive file I/O going on there (OK, by now you know I didn't de-install 2.4 before trying ;-)) which explains the 100% CPU usage and the time it takes for the Next button to respond.
