What about Vista? Do you need to use the Administrator account to
install it?
My currently understanding is that the ActivePython installer will
prompt for administrator privileges if required. I know that if the
current user is a member of the administrators *group* (different from
being the "Administrator" *user*), that this is sufficient to install
and use ActivePython.
I'll have to try that, as it is NOT the case with the Windows
installer
from Python.org. Admin privelleges are NOT sufficient if you want IDLE
to work. You have to use the Administrator account (which is disabled
by default on Vista). If you have a way around that, then great.
I believe that IDLE ran just fine when installed as a user in the admin
group.
