[osgeo4w-dev] python modules

[Matt Wilkie]

One can have simultaneous python entries in the system registry as long 
as the first two numbers are different: 2.5, 2.7...3.1  is valid, while 
simultaneous 2.5.2 and 2.5.4 is not.

Only one of these will be the system default, as in be associated with 
.py files. However one in the registry  installers will look for and 
install to the version they are specific to (and some installers will 
even ask which version you want to install to).
