On Linux I just unpack a self-contained tarball, so switching versions is just a matter of typing a different path to dev_appserver.py, and one version doesn't know about another's libraries. GAE wouldn't be the first program that breaks if pieces of the previous version is lying around, so I'm not surprised you had to delete the old one completely to get it to work. Maybe the Windows installer could be improved; I don't know what "what was left" means. If it's *.pyc files, sometimes Python gets confused and thinks a .pyc is up to date when it isn't, so just deleting the files corrects this. -- Mike Orr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
