I have python 2.5.1 installed, I see that blender 2.48 is compiled with 2.5.2 but console tells me that it's allright.

Is there any need to update from python 2.5.1 to pytthon 2.6.0
or will blender not even work with this new python?

thanks

You will be fine. Upgrade if you want. It shouldn't make a difference.

I'm not so sure about this.
When I try to start Blender with only having Python 2.6 installed, the console tells me something like "Python not found".
Only when 2.5.2 is installed (additionally to 2.6, maybe), it will start up correctly, showing "Python found".

Correct, that's because we've built the release against Python 2.5.2 library (hence the Python25.dll in the installation directory).

You won't need a full Python install if you don't use scripts that rely on Python modules that are not delivered with the Blender installation. Check the python .zip that can be found in the installation directory for the bundled modules. These are directly supported, so any script using modules that are not in there, you'll need the full Python (2.5.2) install for.
