multiple Python versions, but on Windows (how to handle registry updates)

[Banibrata Dutta]

Thanks, Gabriel and Terry, for your responses.

Another somewhat realted, but very noob'ish question --

given that I already have Python2.5 installed & will install Python2.4, will
copying the ../Lib/site-packages/ from 2.5 into 2.4's, work ?
i think the answer is "no", but still asking. is it package specific ?

does it matter if the packages were egg drops ?
