I run Python under Windows XP SP3, and for the longest time, I have installed it on my C: drive under C:\PythonXX (XX = 20, 21., ....26), and maintained all my Python files on our network in a directory called H:\Python that I point to by creating an environment variable called PYTHONPATH. I recently installed 3.1.2 under C:\Python31, and now IDLE crashes every single time Python 3.1 starts up. If I remove PYTHONPATH, it starts up without a problem. The mystery deepens - Python 2.6 starts without a hiccup with or without PYTHONPATH! What could the issue be? Is there any other way to have H:\Python appended to sys.path when I start Python 3.1?
