Windows installer, different versions of Python on Windows

I would like to install several copies of Python 2.4.2 on my machine,
but it doesn't seem to be possible.

If I allready has a version installed, the installer only gives the
options to:

- change python 2.4.2
- repair python 2.4.2
- remove python 2.4.2

I would like to install different versions of Zope 3, and since it is
installed under a specific python version, the simplest solution would
be to install several Python versions, and install a different zope3
version under each python install.

Have I misunderstood something here?

When you install Python it plug entries into the registry, so that when
you go to install add-ons that are pre-compiled binaries, they look into
the registry for the python directory. If you can find out how to
manipulate the registry so that the binaries would recognize different
installations, you'd be good to go. This would probably involve having
copies of the same key with different values.

Hi all, I've installed Python 2.3 using the Windows installer downloaded from www.python.org. I'm using Win98. The installation process went well without any problem. However, double-clicking the "IDLE (Python GUI)" does nothing. The cursor changes to a hour-glass for about 1 second and then nothing happens. The "Python (command line)" works.

I've been using python to write a simple 'launcher' for one of our Java applications for quite a while now. I recently updated it to use python 2.4, and all seemed well. Today, one of my colleagues noted that on her machine the launcher would complain it was missing a DLL - msvcr71.dll However, there's a very grey area concerning the redistribution of said DLL.

As what must be penance for something or other, I'm needing to release a Python app for use under Windows XP.

I've installed several different versions of Python across several different versions of MS Windows, and not a single time was the Python directory or the Scripts subdirectory added to the PATH environment variable. Every time, I've had to go through and add this by hand, to have something resembling a usable Python installation. No such problems on Linux, whether it be Mandrake/Mandriva, Fedora Core, or Kubuntu. So why is the Windows...

I have many users using two different versions of python, 2.4 and 2.5. I am running Python scripts on their computers programmatically, but I can't run it with the full path because they have different versions installed. I need to run it like 'python {script name}'. So I need to add Python to the path. How do I do this permanently without going to each computer and setting it through the GUI? I tried creating a Windows batch script...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
