Some more factoids that may be of use: 1. The last Python you install will take over all the file associations, start menu stuff, etc. 2. You can enumerate over the Pythons you have installed in \ \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Python\PythonCore\ 3. If you silently install a Python PACKAGE made with distutils' bdist_msi, it will by default install to the latest Python version it finds (2.6 > 2.5 > 2.4 > 2.3) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
