Hi! totally newbee
Just installed Blender and don’t understand anything of the interface so i guess everything is normal so far. What’s not normal, I think, is that Blender don’t find Python.
The console looks like this:
I have installed Python 2.4.2
I’m clueless, any hints on solutions highly appreciated

Maby you should try the blenderversion that uses python 2.4 
anyway, blender not finding python is not that dangerous. As long as you are a noob, you problably wont notice. Its just that you cant use some of the plugins.
The reason for installing Blender is a couple of nice Python-scrips for importing and exporting Nif-files. Newbee to blender I should say, did my first 3d-models in '86 
So a older version of Phyton will solve this? I think it said 2.3 or newer, but I might be mistaken.
2.37a and earlier releases are compatible with python 2.3
2.40alpha and later are python 2.4

Recent versions of Blender use Python 2.3. ( 2.3.5 is lastest in that Python series, iirc). The current alpha version of Blender uses Python 2.4.
For the Windos platform, a big handful of the standard python modules are built in. Try running your script. It may work! If you get import errors, you need to install Python 2.3.
Thanks!
Just downloaded Python 2.35 but I don’t have time to test it right now.
