If you really want to install Python on Windows, I would recommend that
you get ActiveState Python, it comes as .MSI installer and has
uninstaller.

It does minimal registry changes and I know of no system file changes
(but I could be wrong).  If you want to put a program written in python
on a workstation you don't have to put python on it.  Use py2exe to
package it and create an installer with Inno Setup.
