from python.org. I doubt many people get this or it would be fixed but it still is shocking how it can prompt me that the installation directory exists - showing that it fully knows where it is supposed to install it - and then go ahead and install it to the root directory and claim success. It also uninstalls Python if you ask it to so any screwy settings from a previous install should be removed after the uninstall, but it also fails to install correctly after an uninstall. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
