Newbie Alert! Upgrading Python?

Hi,



Sorry to bother you folks with a real newbie question, but I am sure that 


this is the place for me to ask.



Python 1.5.1 (final) and Python Win32 Extensions are installed on my 4 year 


old computer.  My computer has always been upgraded to include the latest 


programs and Windows updates.



However, I have NEVER upgraded Python?  Therefore, my questions:



1.  Should I upgrade to the new Python 2.4.1 (Final)?



2.  If so, should I uninstall the old version first and reboot, or can I 


just install the new version over the old version?



3.  Are the Win32 extensions included in the final version, or are the 


extensions a separate download?



I do not use Python, but I am assuming that something on my computer must. 


LOL.



Thank you for any enlightenment you can render.



Elliot
