How can I upgrade Python 2.7.6 to Python 2.7.7 on Windows

How can I upgrade Python 2.7.6 to Python 2.7.7 on Windows? Should I install new version in a separate directory, change all appropriate environment variables and install all required third-party modules again?

In short yes, however it's a little bit complicated to change every time the environment variables and may be some incompatibilities. I recommend you to use virtualenv which allows you to run different versions of python with different modules. Actually virtualenv is the best way to proceed...

No, you can install Python 2.7.7 on top of Python 2.7.6 . Just be careful to specify exactly the same installation directory you used for 2.7.6 .
