One can have simultaneous python entries in the system registry as long
as the first two numbers are different: 2.5, 2.7...3.1 is valid, while
simultaneous 2.5.2 and 2.5.4 is not.
Only one of these will be the system default, as in be associated with
.py files. However one in the registry installers will look for and
install to the version they are specific to (and some installers will
even ask which version you want to install to).

Thanks for your replies.
I did look at setuptools (easy_install) but it will not install unless
python is in your windows registry as the system default python. I
will probably add the OSGeo4W python as my system default once it
moves to 2.7. I may have to do it now anyway. I haven't tried pip yet.
FYI... For the module pygments (required by a QGIS plugin), running
"python setup.py install" did not work. The error "can't open file
setup.py" is returned, which makes some sense since that file does not
exist.

I seem to recall if you can get setuptools (easy_install) or pip
installed into the osgeo4w python then you can easily add some more
stuff using the osgeo4w shell. Otherwise as Matt points out, grab the
source for the package you want and in the osgeo4w shell run python
setup.py install on it. As long as it's pure python code that should
work well.
Enjoy,
