No, it changes the associations for .py files. It would be useful to have the option to create no associations.
Agreed, that would be useful. (More generally, if there's anything else needed to install a second Python version which is never used by default, but only used when explicitly requested, that would be useful too.) Hmm, for example, does the installer set the registry key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\python.exe That's what makes the command "python" work at the console prompt. Maybe just a single option in the installer, "Make this the default version of Python", which is true by default, would be best. This could control file associations, App Paths, and anything else related.
As a workaround, installing the MSI file, and afterwards simply reinstalling python-2.3.3.exe seems to work fine.
Yup, that's a good workaround. Paul. -- This signature intentionally left blank
