title: Blender3D - Installing along side python 2.7 win7 64bit
body: <p>I'm interested in doing some work in Blender3D, but the latest release won't run and I believe it is because of my current python 2.7 install, which I use due to certain modules not supporting python 3.3.</p>
  
  <p>When I run blender, I get a popup window error titled, "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library" with the info:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Runtime Error!
  Program C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender\blender.exe
  This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
  Please contact the application's support team for more information
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I also get the following message in the console that pops up behind the main Blender UI:</p>
  
  <pre><code>found bundled python: C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.69\python
  Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: unable to load the file system codec
      File "C:\Python27\Lib\encodings\__init__.py", line 123
  raise CodecRegistryError,\
                          ^
  
  SyntaxError: invalid syntax
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can I get around this while not destroying/removing my 2.7 install so I can continue to use modules unsupported in 3.3?</p>
