I would be surprised if 2.6 did _not_ run on WinNT, Win2K or later. I know they dropped support for Win9x variants (Win95, WinME or earlier).

Do you have a reference on Python 2.6 dropping support for win2k?

From here: http://docs.python.org/whatsnew/2.6.html

It is pretty clear that support for WIN2K, at least SP4 is NOT being dropped.

"The support for Windows 95, 98, ME and NT4 has been dropped. Python 2.6 requires at least Windows 2000 SP4."
