Yep, either that or modify os::python() such that it finds at runtime a suitable python and store the result for successive calls. This would have the advantage that you are not forced to use a specific python discovered at compile time, but dynamically change it by simply adjusting the PATH variable and restarting LyX. > for configure.py is it only for the #! line? Indeed. I think that is overkill, as any python script is never called directly but always as "python -tt script.py". -- Enrico
