I believe that if you re-install 2.6 you will find that the definition of "python" will be changed by the installer. I typically have four or five versions of python on my workstation, and I run in to this problem frequently. So I usually put a "python.bat" file in a utility folder (which is relatively early in my search path) so that it will point to which ever version I want to be my "default" python for the day.
<code for C:\utils\python.bat> C:\Python26\python.exe %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 <\code> Python utilities which may be version dependent can benefit from similar treatment: <code for C:\utils\2to3.bat> C:\Python26\python.exe C:\Python26\tools\scripts\2to3.py %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 <\code> <code for C:\utils\ped.bat> start C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\pythonwin\pythonwin.exe %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 </code> That way, if I type "ped myPythonScript.py" on the command line, I will get the correct IDE. On the other hand, if I right-click on "myPythonScript.py" and select "Edit", I will get the IDE for which ever version of Python I installed most recently, usually a 3.x version, which may make it rather difficult to debug a Python 2.x script. ;-) HTH Vernon Cole P.S.: I keep all of my imitation gnu command line tools (like "tail", "touch", "less", etc.) in that same utility folder.
