Hello All, I have two python versions installed, one in /usr/bin, and one in /usr/local/bin. However, when invoking python without a full path, I get the wrong executable with the right sys.executable string! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# ls -l /usr/local/bin/python* -rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 3783810 Jul 19 09:15 /usr/local/bin/python -rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 3783810 Jul 19 09:15 /usr/local/bin/python2.5 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1281 Jul 19 09:16 /usr/local/bin/python2.5-config lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Jul 19 09:16 /usr/local/bin/python-config -> python2.5-config
