inquiry about installing Python 2.5

Apologies in advance for what I'm sure seems like a trivial question.

Operating system: Win XP
Current version of Python: 2.4

If possible, I would like to have both Python 2.4 and Python 2.5
installed on my workstaiton. I downloaded the .msi for Python 2.5 from
the python.org site. If I run the 2.5 installer, will it give me the
option of keeping Python 2.4 installed on my workstation?

Thank you.

Yes; you can run both versions just fine. The only question is which
of these gets the .py association: it is the one that gets installed
last. You can chose not to update the .py association when installing
2.5, then .py remains associated with 2.4.

Hi!

For Python only, it's possible.
But, if you add Pywin32... problem!
