That isn't entirely true. In Windows, python files bound to a
particular version of python in the registry. So, for example, if you
double click on "some_prog.py" to run it, then it will by default
start up using python2.6 once it is installed. Also right-clicking on
a file and selecting "edit with Idle" will open the version of Idle
associated with 2.6 (under 2.6). This is a minor difference, but I
wouldn't say that there are no side effects. They can be easily worked
around.
Indeed. Notice that, at installation time, you have the option to chose
whether the new version should associate itself with the .py extension
or not. Through APR (add-remove-programs), you can later change that
also - unselect it in one installation, then select it in the other
(or run the repair installation if you selected it twice).
I'd say the wording in the installer is unfortunate. The option is labeled
"Register extensions" and for some time I thought it was related to
.pyd/.dll files ("C extensions"), not "Associate .py files to this Python
installation"
