I see that I did not read your email carefully the first time through.

You should have no trouble if you just add the actual Python directory to your Windows PATH environment variable.

You can do this in the Start menu, Control Panel dialog, System dialog, Advanced tab, Environment Variables dialog, System Variables group, PATH variable. Just add the complete directory containing python.exe at the beginning of the list of directories (that's for Windows XP Professional, other versions of Windows may differ slightly).

Hope this helps,
Mike

Hi Michael,

Sorry to answer you with some days behind but I'm just back from an annual 
conference. The point was that Csound is not able to find Python 2.5 when 
this one in embedded in another application: a.k.a. Python(x,y). Even if 
Python is in the PATH variables.

I have the warning message saying that Csound was not able to find Python 
and that I will not be able to use the Python function in Csound...
But I have this warning only on Windows XP Pro and not on Vista (I shall 
said: not yet...).

I will see if Csound reacts the same way when Csound 5.09 will be out and 
that I will installed it on my laptop using Vista.

Thank for the reply and don't bother if you cannot understand my message the 
first time...

/mdd
