I have had to re-install windows and when I install python2.2.1 and blender blender doesnt recognize that I have it installed.
I have tried blender first then python and the other way round but nothing is happening except the error message on the console when starting up.
Is there a new way to do it or have I got the wrong version of Python
?
blender now [blender 2.36] uses python 2.3
it will in a couple releases be using python 2.4
this should be a sticky or something
you can recompile yourself if you want to use 2.4, I’ve done it and it seems to work fine. You’re on your own if you want to do it under windoze though 
Thanks - I’m on Windows so compiling is out. Not sure I could do it on Linux either to be honest!
You can find a window version compiled for python2.4 at this address:
