The problem here is presumably that there's no correct way to set PYTHONHOME in this case. They need the python2.4 that they ship in the installer and to point it to their PYTHONHOME. But if from that environment you ever call any other python program then it will abort since PYTHONHOME is set incorrectly. What presumably needs to happen is that python 3 would ignore PYTHONHOME and instread use another variable PYTHON3HOME (and related) so that there is a correct way to have both versions of python work.
