Easy. Just grab the standard installer and hit it. You'll get two
separate directories (or more; I have \Python26, \Python27, \Python32,
\Python33 on this box), and you can run whichever you want. The one
thing to take care of is .py associations; I haven't actually done it
(on here, all I actually do is IDLE, pretty much), but as of 3.3, you
should be able to use a Unix-style shebang to indicate which Python
you want to invoke.
