Patrick,

OSGeo4W comes with a Python of a particular version (1.5 currently) and
packages (like GDAL and mapserver bindings for instance) that are for that
version.

If you want a different version of Python, just install it outside of
OSGeo4W - but you won't be able to use it with the Python modules for
OSGeo4W.
