Due to a goof in the packaging scripts, the Windows installer that was released on Friday for 2.4a3 broke file associations for .py files. There's a fixed installer (python-2.4a3.2.msi) available from the Python 2.4 web page.

There's also a patch for the breakage for random.py on systems that don't have support for the new os.urandom() call. This is also available from the Python 2.4 web page.

We apologise to those affected by these bugs, and I'd like to thank the folks who downloaded the release and let us know about the problems so promptly.
