You can have multiple versions, but you can only associate one specific version with the ".py" suffix. This matters if you need to be able to execute .py files as if they were executables, e.g. double-clicking on the script in Explorer or typing the script's name in the command prompt. You can run scripts which use other versions of Python by specifying the interpreter explicitly, e.g.: "C:\Program Files\Python25\python.exe" "C:\Program Files\MyApp\myscript.py" -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
