So how do you prevent that the windows registry is changed, if you're using an msi installer ? Or do you use another install technique ?. Or do you don't mind that the registry is changed by an installation ? > Regarding the standard library, Python tries to locate it based on > where the executable (python.exe) resides, so this should not be a > problem.

As a REAL windows user, I know nothing about registry, environment variables, associating files etc, Bill is always doing that for me !! ;-) cheers, Stef -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
