Move Python Folder Into Program Files Folder?

I have Python27 and Python33 folders. Can I move these folders into my Program Files folder or will this cause problems?enter image description here

Solution

  • Simply moving folders will not work.

    • Python file association will not work.
    • .pyc file contains absolute path:
      • You will get old paths in tracebacks.
    • Third-party libraries may have absolute path.

    You need to reinstall the interpreter and libraries.
