I highly recommend against adding C:\Python25 to your %PATH%. You can get the same effect by adding a simple bat file to C:\Windows\System32 --- @C:\Python25\python.exe %* --- Call it python25.bat and you are done. Apropos call, don't forget to "call python25" in batch files. :) Christian -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
