Active Python versions
Why is the Windows msi install file for ActivePython-2.4.3.12 only 15MB whereas the older msi file for ActivePython-2.4.2.10 was 19MB? BTW, is that the prefered Python environment? -- Reply in group, but if emailing add another zero, and remove the last word. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Thanks. I didn't notice the file name was wrong until I tried to install it. Can I ask you about alternative environments? How do Active Python and IDLE from python.org compare? I'm just starting out with it and I know they run the same code but I don't want to have to change environments later. -- Reply in group, but if emailing add another zero, and remove the last word. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Yes. I just wanted to know which programming environment is prefered by regular users, maybe even one that I haven't heard of yet. -- Reply in group, but if emailing add another zero, and remove the last word. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
