jp added the comment: Have you checked if there are pyc files left around by the previous installation? -- Yes, hundreds! After making a backup, i deleted all 900+ occurrences of "*.pyc" in c:\python27 and it still reports 2.7.8.
Have you specified the full path to python.exe from cmd while running python -V? -- Yes, i've attached the console output If you start the interpreter and print sys.version what do you get? Does anything change if you reload(sys)? -- 2.7.8 again, no. ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file36329/console.txt _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22177> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
