Just a little bit. :-)

I did some checking. Inkscape on windows does the following to locate a

python interpreter:

1) checks a python-interpreter string value from the preferences file

(I dont' believe this value is set anywhere, would need to be entered by

hand.)

2) checks for a python/python.exe relative to the python executable

3) checks for python.exe in the system path

The reason I don't believe that C:\Python24 has been removed is because

the error message pasted was a python backtrace (not an Inkscape error

at all) that lists the full path of the files that python is actually

running. I'm not sure python would continue to produce a phantom pain

backtrace after you cut off its limbs. :-)
