Multiple versions of Python should not be a problem provided you put
them in different folders.

C:\python25

and

C:\ASpython25

for example

You will have to remember which one is the default version (ie will
be used when you double click a python file for example) but you
can set things up to run both. But there is little point. If you are
on Windows I'd personally uninstall the vanilla version and install
the ActiveState version, it has a lot more features for Windows users.
