The problem with setting path is- that when you want to run with one
version of Python or another, it's not as convenient to change the
path variable.

Changing PYTHONHOME can be done from within a cmd console, and you can
switch between versions of Python on the fly.

I usually set path like this
PYTHONHOME=C:\Python25
path=%path%;%PYTHONHOME%

The problem is that the demos & docs get screwed up when you install
one for each version of wx.
