How can i make python 3.3 the default one, as i need this cause i have PyQt4 installed there and so it does not work with 2.7 .

That was one of the choices you were presented with during the install. 
  It defaults to making the newly installed one the default, but there 
was a checkbox or something.  (It's been years since I did a Windows 
install, so I don't really remember)

Anyway, if Wolfgang's link doesn't do it for you, consider re-installing 
3.3.  It should just go on top of the existing one, and the only change 
should be that it would then become the default one.
