I'm asking Guilhem to determine the priority of the bug, for now it's P3

Description:
Hello!
1) python-based bzr installers are critical for MySQL because the standalone Windows installer prevents using bzr-gtk; that's what I had observed a year ago and it is still mentioned in
http://bazaar-vcs.org/WindowsDownloads : with the standalone installer "You can use most of the Bazaar plugins ( /!\ excluding some GUI plugins)".
2) At https://launchpad.net/bzr/+download there are
bzr 1.13-1 python2.4 installer
bzr 1.13-1 python2.5 installer
but no python-2.6 installer. I tried using the python-2.5 bzr installer on a Windows system having python 2.6 for x86, the bzr installer failed (some error message which I forgot, was a few weeks ago). As http://python.org/download/ says:
"The current production versions are Python 2.6.1 and Python 3.0.1"
so that's what people will install by default today.
3) As using Python 2.6 wouldn't work with the bzr installer, I installed Python 2.5.4 for AMD64 (my Windows is 64-bit); the python-2.5 bzr installer didn't find Python and refused that I enter python's location (impossible to type the path in the relevant box), so I had to resort to installing Python 2.5.4 for x86 instead.
4) conclusion: there are some fixes to do :) Thanks!
