Making ActivePython and Python co-exist on Windows

[CWC]

I'm new to Python. Is it possible to make ActivePython 3.12 and
Python 3.12 co-exist on Windows? I've got an app which requires the
former, but I want to stay with the latter, since I'm interested in
getting into development. The main area of collision appears to be
the Registry.

ActivePython is the same thing as the "normal" Python. They just
bundle the standard Python 3.1.2 distribution with a couple of extra
packages in a convenient installer for you.

Thanks, Ben! Based on your response, I decided to go ahead and
install
ActivePython 3.1.2.

Yup. And as the documentation details,
http://docs.activestate.com/activepython/3.1/whatsincluded.html
ActivePython includes PyWin32, Tkinter based on Tk 8.5 ... and PyPM for easy package management,
