Installing two different versions of Python on Windows

I currently have Python 2.1 installed on my home computer.
My web host finally upgraded to 2.2 (yeah!).
So, I want to upgrade my home computer to 2.2.
HOWEVER, I would like to leave my version 2.1 in place, for testing
purposes.
If I simply take care to install the new Python 2.2 version in a separate
directory, this should work OK, shouldn't it? I know that the system will
default associate all the .py, .pyc, and .pyw files with the 2.2 executable
and I would have to specifically invoke the 2.1 executable with a full path
name if I wanted to run it, but that's fine, too. I expect I'll mostly use
the newer 2.2.
