It's a matter of replacing C:\Python25 with C:\Python26 in your PATH environment variable, which is what the Windows command processor uses to fined executable programs. It's normal to add both the directory the interpreter lives in /and/ its Scripts subdirectory, so you may have two replacements to make. See http://www.python.org/doc/faq/windows/ for more. If anyone has any good updates to that document I'll be happy to make them (or give you permission to make them ...). It was written a long time ago, and I'm not sure it's had much love. In particular there'll not be anything relating to Windows 7. regards Steve -- Steve Holden +1 571 484 6266 +1 800 494 3119 PyCon is coming!
