Dear python Team
I think I've been wasting your time:

C:\Users\Nick>path
PATH=C:\Python27\;C:\Python27\Scripts;C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath;C:\Program
Files\Broadcom\Broadcom 802.11 Network
Adapter;;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program
Files (x86)\ATI
Technologies\ATI.ACE\Core-Static;C:\Python\Python35\Scripts\;C:\Python\Python35\

somehow the new py3.5 has been added to the end, not the beginning.
guess this path is what you meant by "my profile".
I'll set about fixing it.
Meery christmas to you all
Nick
