The Windows installer should support upgrading from a previous Python 2.4 installation. If you have previously installed 2.4a1, you may try this out; please report any problems you find.

I tried that, and it seemed to work well, although it took a while.

One glitch: I'm pretty sure I selected "install only for me" in the first screen. I wanted to go back to check, but it doesn't seem possible to go back to the first screen. Anyway, the Python DLL ended up in a system directory, and that's "the glitch". I expected/wanted it to end up in my Python directory.
