It would be good if this page included some instructions for updating to Python 3.0 if the reader already has an earlier version of Python.

I'm writing this note in a box that is about 1 inch wide, 2" long and it's completely on top of the page underneath it. I've been trying to download a version for windows XP for the last hour. I downloaded the 2.6 version first, then found, on another page an upgrade to version 3. Then after downloading it too, I saw a refernce fo somebody who mentioned XP, and the file size was 12.8 mb. So I downloaded again the other version 3 windows file. Now with there being not a word of explanation as to what Gzipped, Bzipped, or even the windows different versions, I haven't a clue as to which one to really download. Maybe a rod of explanation would be appropriate, unless eveybody here is a web mind reading guru. Maybe you could give a clue as to what one to use with winXP. Thanks,

Rick

Hi Rick,

There is a "Windows installer" mentioned on the Download page, did you download that?
