Not at all, the whole point of the new installer is that you can choose not

Great! Thank you! To be honest, I do want to try out the Python 
features, so I'll probably upgrade my Python install to 2.6 eventually. 
Really, I had 2.5 on here because I was playing around with some scripts 
that automate the building of VST plugins, which I'm not really using 
anyway.
