I am trying to install Python on a presumably 64-bit and entirely Win7Ultimate laptop, but the C drive has 6 gigs till it is full, so I was thinking of installing it on the 'D' drive. Would that have any problems, aside from possibly making it harder to launch?

Uh.... on most computers, the D: drive is the CD/DVD drive. But if the D drive actually is a hard drive, it shouldn't cause any significant problems.
Also, 6 gigs is way more than enough for Python. For me, 2.6 takes 40MB and 3.2 takes 57.
EDIT: Oh, I see that it worked.

On mine, 'E' is the CD/DVD drive.

There shouldn't be any problem - most hard drives have more or less the same read/write speeds and are treated the same by the OS.
Python doesn't take much space (roughly 50 MB, as fire219 said), too, so you could even install it in C: with no problems.
