Q. “Fatal Python error: Interpreter not initialized (version mismatch?)” A. This error occurs when the version of the Python interpreter for which the extension module has been built is different from the version of the interpreter that attempts to import the module. Is there a way to find out which python interpreter version is inside JCC? Also, Is it somehow possible that the java process that load jcc library will be picking the default python (2.4) instead of the python (2.5)? PATH is set to python2.5.
