That is Just The Way It = Is. =20 if you're on a US windows box, sure. but "Program Files" isn't exactly an international standard... we install our python distribution under the \py<version>, and we get lot of positive responses. as far as I remember, nobody has ever reported problems setting up the path... > When was the last time you saw /python on a Unix box?

Thought so. if the Unix designers had come up with the bright idea of translating "bin" to "whatever might seem to make sense in this language", I think you'd see many more non-std in- stallations under Unix... especially if they'd made the root directory writable to everyone :-) </F>
