Thanks for the answers guys. I'm using WinXP. I noticed that when I installed 2.5rc2, it wasn't automatically assigned as the default version of Python. I wasn't sure if this was just because it was an RC, or maybe I have to manually make 2.5 the default. But I will uninstall 2.4 first anyway, so it shouldn't matter. Can't wait to play around with it! :) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
