Hello, When a python source block has a :session header argument, the python version selected does not appear to respect the value of the variable org-babel-python-command.
In my .emacs: (require 'org-install) (org-babel-do-load-languages 'org-babel-load-languages '((python . t) )) (setq org-babel-python-command "python2") In my org file: #+begin_src python :results output import sys print(sys.version) #+end_src #+results: : 2.7.2 (default, Jun 29 2011, 11:10:00) : [GCC 4.6.1] Now exactly the same but with ":session x" header argument: #+begin_src python :results output :session x import sys print(sys.version) #+end_src #+results: : : 3.2.1 (default, Jul 11 2011, 12:37:47) : [GCC 4.6.1] So babel has chosen to use Python 3.2 When I wanted to use Python 2.7, as in the first block, and the value of org-babel-python-command is still "python2". Versions: orgmode commit cae9f947be (Aug 30th) GNU Emacs 23.3.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.22.1) of 2011-03-10 on bitzer.hoetzel.info $ ls -l `which python{2,3,}` /usr/bin/python -> python3 /usr/bin/python2 -> python2.7 /usr/bin/python3 Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?
