Hello,

I am developping a software for Windows which embed a python (2.7) web application running with mod_wsgi (3.3).
Until now, I have adding the path to the python executable in the windows PATH.

Some of my users have already an old python environment (2.5) which is used by an other software (collabsvn server).

I would like that both software run side by side. Both software have their own apache instance.

I tried to use the WSGIPythonHome for my software and I did not succeed (I have read that it is not compatible for Windows). 
Is there a workaround for Windows to avoid to set the  python executable in the windows PATH ?

Thank you for your help ! :)

If the Python installations were all installed for all users, and not
just the specific user it was installed as, I don't believe you should
have this issue. Certainly not if they are different Python versions.
The only issue might be when a third party application has its own
Python version which conflicts with a system wide one that mod_wsgi
was using. In that case, need to ensure the PATH for Apache has the
system wide one before any other so correct DLL for Python is found.
