I've now checked, and it appears that we don't do the right thing now anyway. On a clean Win7-x64, I installed Python 2.7 (32-bit), for all users, with registration of extensions - and Python.File etc. were added to the registry pointing at Python 2.7. I then installed Python 3.2 the same way, and rhe registry entries then pointed to 3.2. I then uninstalled 3.2, and the registry entries were gone! No magical restoration to the earlier values :-( Okay - if users have to do this now anyway, we at least wouldn't be naking things worse :-) Regards, Vinay Sajip _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
