I saw mention recently of Python 4 and assumed all such references
were either April Fool's jokes or pie-in-the-sky dreams for a new
version of Python which may never arrive.

Then I saw this message to webmaster. I would have guessed he meant
3.4 except he mentions having a Python3 (well, actually, a Phython3)
directory.

WTH is Python 4?

just updated to Python 4.  (installed to C: drive) ... now i notice
there are separate Python2 & Python3 directories as well.  i am not a
programmer in any sense (just a basic computer user).

1. do i need to have python on my computer at all for basic use?
(word, excel, power point, etc.)'
2. can i safely remove the Python 2 & Phython3 directories? (to save
hard disk space)

thanks
