SciTE doesn't do that, in the default configuration it just uses whatever is called pythonw on the path, for running files having a .py or .pyw suffix. I see. By default, Python does not put itself onto PATH. Does that mean that SciTE cannot run Python scripts in the default installation?

OK, Issue 4485 created. My first one, so let me know if I goofed. I elaborated a bit from the original email, upon reflection. Seemed useful, but also seemed complex by the time I got done. Looks about right to me. I don't really have a clue what the uninstaller should do with these; nor

Using a right click, one can open any .py file with say SciTe. Within SciTe, one can Run the current file. It would be good to have the appropriate version (my use of default) preselected. I don't know how SciTe choses the version of Python to run. In the sense in why you use the word,

Hi! Multiple versions of Python is possible (example: Python standard + Python by OOo). But, multiple versions of Python+PyWin32 is not possible. Suggestion: use VirtualBox or Virtual-PC. @-salutations -- Michel Claveau -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
