It won't run anything in the task bar or add itself to the startup menu and it doesn't have ads... it just sits there waiting for you to use it. I would start with version 2.4, and if that doesn't work I would go to 2.3 then 2.5 then 2.2. Uninstall the last version before moving on to another. I do worry a little though because python dlls are named as Python.dll, so the dll in that error message could actually be from some third party. Anyway, there is no harm in installing Python. If it doesn't work it will uninstall cleanly. -Matt -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: A stupid question
I knew what everything was for when I uninstalled it, I just didn't happen to know about every component part, apparently. ;) I have tried reinstalling the Bittorrent client, and to no avail. (The computer is a Toshiba Satellite laptop, if that helps anyone.) Any other ideas?

There's something installed on Compaq computers that uses the Python stuff too, but I never figured out what it was. I figured it may have been some of the preloaded games, 'cause when I restored a roommate's machine from the restore image the Python22 folder was among the things that appeared on the fresh machine. It was actually pretty exciting for me since I needed to write a little utility to do something on this machine, but it was slow as death and only had dialup and I really didn't want to deal with downloading and installing that stuff myself. ...of course your first problem is buying a machine with a ton of shovelware on it.

Python is a programming language used to develop (some of) the bittorrent clients. You were a little exuberant in uninstalling applications and removed the Python files that are required for the bittorrent client. You could try downloading and installing Python, but I don't know which version you'll need. You could try uninstalling the bittorrent client and reinstalling a client with all its required dependencies. HTH, casevh -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

It says exactly: The specified module could not be found. LoadLibrary(pythondll) failed Don't know if that helps at all.
