How would I do this? The reason being I wanted to try some pygame out, but I have python 3 installed currently and have been learning with that. I\'m also interested in tryi

Answer 1

Yes, it is possible.

I maintain 3 python installations (2.5, 2.6, 3.0). The only issue that could be confusing is figuring out which Python version takes precedence in PATH variable (if any) . To execute a script for a specific version, you would go into the python directory for that version

C:\Python25\ , C:\Python26\, C:\Python30\, etc.

Drop the file in there, and run "python.exe file.py" from command-line.

You could even rename each python.exe to python25.exe python26.exe python30.exe and have each directory in PATH so it would be easy to execute any script on any version.
