Support for python 2.x based projects
From the page http://help.appveyor.com/kb/using-appveyor/software-installed-on-appveyor-build-servers its clear that python 3.3 is installed.
As python 3.3 is not backward compatible with 2.x, the projects using the older python syntax will not work in 3.3 environment.
In that case, would it be feasible to have python 2.x (i.e. 2.7) installed alongside 3.3 on the servers?
We could keep 3.3 as the default python path and if required the custom scripts of specific projects can change this python path to include the 2.x version of it.
Thoughts?

Yeah, why not. If both versions could live side-by-side then OK.
What distro of Python do you need (from this page): Windows Installer or Windows X86-64 Installer?

Wow! I think I have found the genie in AppVeyor! (

something and next thing I know is, its right there. Thanks :)
Windows Installer for 2.7.5 would do good. Would appreciate if you could
share the path in the software-installed kb page.

The path is c:\python27
I'm updating documentation...
