(original) (raw)

hi,
 
I was wondering how to have multiple instances of python running on XP.
 
I have ZOPE and TSW installed, but ZOPE's python is grabbing paths from TSW's python.
 
specifically I
 
 changed to dir "...\\Zope-2.7.2-0\\bin"
and in cmd window  ran python

did help() , sys
and executable= r'...\\Zope-2.7.2-0\\bin\\python.exe'
but exec\_prefix = r'...\\TSW\\Apache2\\python'
path\_importer\_cache = ...\\TSW|Apache2\\python...

TSW's pyhon is ver 2.3.4
ZOPE python is 2.3.3

so Is there a way to prevent this mixup?
I would like to have ZOPE installed as a service, and that means a python is running as a service.
 
I would like to multiple python services running, and have them stay in their own installed areas.
 
Is there a way to define the internal paths, and not to use XP's search  PATH
 
Would I have to rename python to python\_1, Python\_2, etc?
 
Thanks.
