We have a few Windows machines that have multiple Python installations on them, for various reasons. Who doesn't love legacy systems?
In a bit of a clean up effort, I'd like to attempt to figure out which ones are actually in use. As far as I can see, I have two options in this:
- Go through all the products manually and see what paths they reference
- Find some kind of indicator of use, so I can script this task and keep my sanity
I'm somewhat attached to my sanity, so the second option is definitely my preference.
I'm aware that there are plenty of places that someone might have installed Python, so I'll be attempting to cover these off to find individual Python installations before then trying to confirm if they're in use or not.
Has anyone had to do something similar in the past and found a 'use indicator' of a specific Python installation?
