# Thanks for the clarification! I moved the files you mentioned and
the warning messages had gone!
# Actually, we just started a computer music study group in our
physics department (in Bogazici University). I am trying to help other
students for learning Csound. In the first meeting we installed the
program. And the first message we get from Csound was the "python not
found" warning. :-) It feels like something is going wrong. In the
next meeting I will say them to remove that files too.

# May I give a suggestion (as a simple Csound user)? If one chooses
not to install Python then the installer should not copy the .dll's
and .pyd's (csnd.dll etc) Or put them in an other folder where they
will not interrupt the normal sound rendering process. And in that
folder there may be a text file which includes the instructions to
install python and where to copy that files if the user changes its
mind and wants to try the Python. I think this is simpler than getting
a warning at every run. (I think if warnings are put to the command
line then it is not a big problem. But in Xp the user gets a warning
window with a red error sign where s/he must press enter to proceed.
Actually this is the annoying issue.)

# Python is not installed on my computer.
