Thanks for the reply. I don't quite understand yet. Let's see how close I am.
I have a Python application directory (on my machine, C:\apps\Python25\). Inside that directory I have \Lib\site-packages\django, which is currently v0.96. Right now, the PYTHONPATH environment variable is not set at all on my machine. When I work through Django examples, I can run "manage.py" from my Django application folder (C:\work\djcode\mytut\) and automatically talk to django modules, which are presumably in \Lib\site-packages\django. This happens, I assume, because C:\apps\Python25\ is on my system path, and either a) Python automatically checks the \site-packages\ subdirectory for imports, or b) a hook was added when I installed Django, so that Python knows to look there for "django" imports. I have not installed Django v1.0 yet. I will have to do something when I install it so as not to overwrite the version already in \site-packages\. The obvious solution is to rename the existing directory to (say) django096 before installing, but I don't know what I might break when I do that. I'm not sure we're on the same page, but maybe you are telling me that if I rename the old directory and then install v1.0 so that I have both \django (1.0) and \django096 (0.96) both under \site-packages\, that I can set the PYTHONPATH variable to tell python to preferentially choose one of these directories over the other? Or are you perhaps talking about having different installs of Python itself, or something else entirely?
