Pythonites, I received Python with another install and my update software keeps signaling I need to install a newer version, and once I do, the older version is still there, so I keep getting told I need to update. Should I be able to uninstall the old version each time?

I would need more information to help. What operating system are you on? How and where are you installing Python (and what do you mean by "received Python with another install"?). -- Russell Russell, I found Python on my system through the use of Secunia PSI, as it was flagged as needing update and I had not noticed Python before. It shows Python 2.5.X in C:\Program Files (x86)\Acer\clear.fi SDK21\Video\koan\python25.dll and shows Python 2.7.X in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\python27.dll and shows Python 2.7.x in C:\Windows\System32\Python27.dll and also Python 3.x in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Python34.dll I just wonder if all these copies are necessary or if I am supposed to manually uninstall the previous versions. When I download an upgrade, I love to see the installer removing old files before installing the upgrade, and feel almost sure it's dumping almost all the effluent of old versions. Secunia sometimes gets a wild hair in its program to keep all installs up to date, and will flag something it claims to be updating but never seems to accomplish this, so must be done manually. Fair enough, as it was free and only trying to help secure my system. Here are the stats on my system: OS Name Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601 Other OS Description Not Available OS Manufacturer Microsoft Corporation System Manufacturer Acer System Model Predator G3620 System Type x64-based PC Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz, 3401 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s) BIOS Version/Date American Megatrends Inc.

I am intrigued, however, by this computing language being made more understandable for a neophyte like myself. I'll read a bit more about it.Thanks!John Kelly
