I think your missing the point. Ignore the fact that your PATH doesn't contain the correct paths to python.
The problem is that on startup, a program (unknown) is looking for the dll file for python2.5 - it is looking for this in the system32 directory. To be rid of the startup errors, you need to replace the dll that was removed by the uninstallation of python2.5 - to do this, reinstall python2.5 Bodsda Sent from my BlackBerry® wireless device -----Original Message----- From: Wayne Watson <sierra_mtnv...@sbcglobal.net> Sender: tutor-bounces+bodsda=googlemail....@python.org Date: Wed, 21 Dec 2011 07:15:31 To: Steven D'Aprano<st...@pearwood.info>; tutor@python.org<tutor@python.org> Subject: Re: [Tutor] A few Python Mysteries Python is long gone from my system. I only have Python 27. Somewhere a long the line, the uninstall of Python5 probably did not remove the Python5 from the PATH. I have no explanation as to why Python7 was not in the PATH. I have no idea why some remnant of why Python6 is hanging around. I uninstalled it long ago too.
