Multiple Versions of Python on Windows XP

On approximately 12/1/2008 11:29 PM, came the following characters from 
the keyboard of Martin v. Löwis:

OK, Issue 4485 created.  My first one, so let me know if I goofed.  I 
elaborated a bit from the original email, upon reflection.  Seemed 
useful, but also seemed complex by the time I got done.

I don't really have a clue what the uninstaller should do with these; 
nor have I fiddled to know if it presently removes Python.File.  I 
suppose it should delete them, if and only if the ftype and assoc have 
the same content as was created by the corresponding version installation.
