I installed 2.5.1 and as the installer said, it have replaced my old
installation with the new one, something like i wanted to do! So i
checked and everything seems to working fine. But this is an update
release to 2.5, i do not know what is happening when, for example, a
totally new Python version come out, like 2.6 or 2.7 or...
