I am using an Hp Pavilion a1253w running Xp media edition.
It has python preinstalled on an hidden hp bin path.
If I try to open it ask me to install in folder python22, or select new folder.
Can I use this installation, or will it harm what hp is using it for?
Can I leave this installation alone and install a newer version? If so,how would I do that.
I would like to take a MIT opencourse on Python. Their instruction only say it may not be necessary to install python as it maybe preinstalled.

Have asked question in several forums. Only answers I get is to direct me to another forum. Check the threads in those forums haven't helped.

Anyone here have answer?

Python is a programming language. I am sure it is safe to install. What harm can it do?
