• To learn more about Python visit Python.org or explore the Python links the FAQ

_{Python Option: Active Python 2.5.1.1 Win32-x86 has not been thoroughly tested. Please share your findings if you choose to use it. This option includes pywin (skip step 6), openssl (potentially skip step 5) and SQLite v3 support (step 7 collision). More information is available from Active Python. If you have any doubts, don't try this option or expect support.}
