If it came with the computer it's most probably not safe to remove it because chances are that it's used by some program or script that is pre-installed by the vendor of the machine. At least HP, Compaq and IBM/Lenovo are known to do this on some computers: http://www.python.org/doc/faq/installed/ http://effbot.org/pyfaq/installed-why-is-python-installed-on-my-machine.htm Ciao, Marc 'BlackJack' Rintsch -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
