Is there a good reference to the steps that should be taken to upgrade a Windows machine to the next version of python?
My journey from 2.2 to 2.3 was very knicker-twisting. I'm hoping for more of a controlled landing on 2.4.
You can't upgrade. You have to throw out the old and start over. That's true any time the second digit changes.
I got tired of this problem, so I have started keeping a batch file that tells me exactly what has to be done. I keep all of the additional packages in the same directory as the batch file. Any time I want to, I can delete the whole Python directory and run this script to start over. It made the 2.2-to-2.3 transition much easier.
Plus, if I need to set up a new machine, I can copy that one directory over, and have my whole Python environment alive and well.
For some packages, this just means running a .exe or a .msi. For some packages, it means unzipping and running "python setup.py install". For some packages, it means doing an nmake.
