Corrupted wx installation - again

I believe I know how I corrupted my wx installation.

In Ctrl panel, My the path to my current python installation is set like this

C:\stuff;%PYTHONHOME%;C:\OtherStuff
PYTHONHOME=C:\Python25

I frequently need to go back and forth between python 2.4 & 2.5, but
at the moment, I only have wx installed for 2.5.

When I switch between python versions, sometimes I do this only in a
console window by typing PYTHONHOME=C:\Python24, so the change goes
away when the console closes.

Last night when I was working on a 2.4 project, I went to control
panel and changed PYTHONHOME=C:\Python24 in the system wide
environment variable

Today, without restoring PYTHONHOME to 2.5, I launched PaAlaMode, but
it never displayed itself. I then tried the wx Demo launcher-same
problem.

I then remembered I had switched PYTHONHOME to Python2.4, so I
switched the environment variable back to python2.5, but now my wx
installation is corrupt. No wx programs run.

I have no choice but to re-install wx.

Short of remembering to restore the control panel variable back to
2.5, is there a better way to deal with multiple versions of Python
installations and multiple versions of wx?


thanks
