PYTHONPATH can be updated somewhere in the environment options (sorry: I've got a Finnish language XP version, so I don't remember the exact terms) and the new path comes in effect immediately i.e. the launches after that see the new definition.
That way of changing the PYTHONPATH is a little difficult, though. In command line usage i.e. CMD.EXE I have been using these kinds of bat files to alternate between versions 2.4 and 2.5 of Python. (These were suggested earlier by someone in this group I think): === Py24.bat (Py25.bat has Python25 instead of Python24 in it) === @echo off if .%1.==.. goto NODEV set DEMOHOME=%1 goto CONT :NODEV set DEMOHOME=C: :CONT set PYTHONHOME=%DEMOHOME%\Python24 set PYTHONPATH=%PYTHONHOME%; set PYTHON=%PYTHONHOME%\python.exe set PYTHONW=%PYTHONHOME%\pythonw.exe set PATH=%PYTHONHOME%;%PATH% === Py.bat (to launch Python) === "%PYTHON%" "%1.py" "%2" "%3" "%4" "%5" "%6" "%7" "%8" "%9" > thanks, > Stef Mientki HTH, Jussi -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
