What I'm doing myself on Windows is deciding which version of Python I want to be the default, and install that from the msi normally (including "register extensions" options). I then proceed to add its install location to my %PATH%. After which I install additional Python versions but *without* selecting "register extensions" otherwise they will overwrite the registry associations. I have about 5 different versions coexisting peacefully in c:\python26 c:\python27 c:\python27-64, c:\python32 and c:\python33 (with python27 being the default and only c:\python27 added to %PATH%) In the IDE I'm using (PyCharm) you can trivially switch the Python version it will use for your project. > Thank you! > > Uli > > PS: Dear lazyweb, is there any way to teach VC8 some syntax highlighting > for Python? http://pytools.codeplex.com/ perhaps?
