True, I can easily do that with my editor, but the problem is that when you
install Python 2.1, this will overrride the settings, so to summerise my
situation :
Though my Python Path is using Python 2.0 (basicaly when you type in the Dos
prompt: Python you'll get V2.0), however, when you click on a py (or pyw)
file then Python 2.1 is used (which I don't want if I don't tell it so
;-) ).
