ActivePython for Windows includes the following binaries on Windows:
</div><div><br></div><div>* python.exe</div><div>* python3.2.exe</div><div>* python3.xe </div><div>(plus the `pythonw` versions)</div><div><br></div><div>python3.2.exe is better than python32.exe because that matches the invocation (eg: "python3.2 -m foo") on Unix.</div><div><br></div><div>Similarly for 2.x (python2.exe / python2.7.exe).</div><div><br></div><div>All of this is particularly useful if the installer adds Python directory to %PATH% (which is the case for ActivePython, but not the one from python.org).</div><div><br></div><div>-srid</div>
