I recently upgraded to 5.07 on windows and did not experience this python issue.  I also freshly installed 5.07 on a Vista computer.  That time, I got the "python2.5 is missing message" but installing python 2.5 fixed the problem.

I 
hope 
this, 
too. 
Yesterday 
one 
of 
my 
students 
installed 
Csound 
on  
Windows. 
The 
same 
problems 
as 
Stuart 
reports: 
error 
messages 
on  
python 
whatever 
she 
does 
(installing 
python 
yes/no, 
installer 
d/f).  
Really 
a 
pity, 
and 
not 
good 
for 
Csound 
...
