[Tutor] problem resulting from installing 3.0

[Dick Moores]

XP, Python 2.5.1

I installed 3.0 alpha out of curiosity in a separate folder from 
2.5.1. Then I found that both 2.5.1's IDLE and my main Python editor 
Ulipad would no longer open. My first idea was that the installation 
of 3.0 somehow changed my path. But it didn't. After uninstalling 
3.0, and fiddling with the path and PYTHONPATH, IDLE and Ulipad now 
open, but the console opens first. The files executed are idle.pyw 
and ulipad.pyw. How can I get back to where I was before, without 
that annoying console opening?

path:
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\Program 
Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\binn\;E:\Program Files\IDM 
Computer Solutions\UltraEdit-32;E:\Program 
Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\;E:\Program Files\Subversion\bin

PYTHONPATH:
E:\Python25\;E:\PythonWork\;E:\Programs\Ulipad3.7\

And another question is, exactly what should go into PYTHONPATH? I've 
never been clear about that.

Thanks,

Dick Moores
