Hi Alan,

Same for me: C:\Windows\system32\python25.zip is in the only non-"C:
\Python25" directroy&file in my sys.path (under Python 2.5).
No idea why it needs it. And also in my case the zip file isnt in that
location anyway. So also not 3K only or so.
But I have no issues with it (so far :-)), do you? Do you run into
problems because of this in the path?

HTH,
Marco
