A quick scan of the registry makes it look to me like the main issue is that py3k would take over the .py, .pyo, .pyc extentions, which is not a big deal. Reinstalling 2.5 (in place) would fix that. The only other potential issue is the uninstall icon for 2.5 disappearing. However a quick test shows that the design of the installer prevents this potential issue. So everything looks fine to me. I have both instaled at the moment, and it looks fine to me. _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
