There is no bug.
It's a bit confusing that the method sort on a list object returns None, but it

Internal python docs need to be updated.

I tested this on a real Windows 7 machine (64 bit, Ultimate)
I open the command prompt, and I have the latest Pythons installed,
Python 2.6.6, Python 2.7 final, and Python 3.1.2
If I hold down Ctrl-C, it will eventually exit the interpreter

1) Open the System Properties either via the Control Panel or pressing
WinKey-Pause
2) Click on the tab that says Advanced
3) Click on Environment

Python 3.0 doesn't print the string with the carat underneath when

if (x=5): pass
File stdin, line 1

When running Python 2.5.1 stable in Windows, you can press Ctrl-C as
many times as you want and it will always output Keyboard Interrupt in
the interpreter.
Python 3.0a+ will quit if you press ctrl-c too many times. The last
release of 3.0a2 can handle many

Problem:
I'd like to run Python 32 bit (for compatibility with extensions) and
Python 64 bit on Vista (for speed and 64 bit apps) on one machine.
However Vista has an 'improved' installer for MSI apps, where if I
install Python 64 bit first, I can't install
