That isn't entirely true. In Windows, python files bound to a particular version of python in the registry. So, for example, if you double click on "some_prog.py" to run it, then it will by default start up using python2.6 once it is installed. Also right-clicking on a file and selecting "edit with Idle" will open the version of Idle associated with 2.6 (under 2.6). This is a minor difference, but I wouldn't say that there are no side effects. They can be easily worked around. Matt -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
