this is my first post on the mailing list, so I'll try to be clear
enough. I've on my computer WinXp x64 with  python 2.5 and 2.6
installed. When I tried to run a small script using smtplib using Python
2.6, I got that error message:

"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "< My projet path >\sandbox.py", line 2, in <module>
    import smtplib
  File "C:\Python25\Lib\smtplib.py", line 44, in <module>
    import socket
  File "C:\Python25\Lib\socket.py", line 45, in <module>
    import _socket
ImportError: Module use of python25.dll conflicts with this version of
Python.

"


So as you can see, it looks inside Python 2.5 directories, not 2.6. I
took a look at both sys.path (2.5 and 2.6), and remarked that Python 2.5
have its own path list, but 2.6 got its own + the 2.5 paths creating
conflicts.
Is there a way to avoid this? I thought removing every single path in
python 2.6 that linked to 2.5, but maybe there's another reason/solution
or something I should know?

How did you install both versions exactly? They should coexist peacefully.
What do you mean "a path in python 2.6 that linked to 2.5"?
Do you have a PYTHONPATH environment variable set? (you shouldn't).
Look for any .pth file with absolute paths inside it.
