[Tutor] A few Python Mysteries

[bodsda at googlemail.com]

I think your missing the point. Ignore the fact that your PATH doesn't contain the correct paths to python.

The problem is that on startup, a program (unknown) is looking for the dll file for python2.5 - it is looking for this in the system32 directory. To be rid of the startup errors, you need to replace the dll that was removed by the uninstallation of python2.5 - to do this, reinstall python2.5

Python is long gone from my system.  I only have Python 27.  Somewhere a 
long the line, the uninstall of Python5 probably did not remove the 
Python5 from the PATH. I have no explanation as to why Python7 was not 
in the PATH.  I have no idea why some remnant of why Python6 is hanging 
around. I uninstalled it long ago too.
