/usr/bin/env python will cause the first command named python in the process's execution path ($PATH) to be used. Apache is probably not running under your user name and does not have the PATH modification in your .bash_profile to stick that long path to the python.org Python 2.6 bin directory at the front of $PATH. Rather than changing Apache's startup, the easier solution would probably be to modify your scripts to point at the desired python. By default, the python.org installers put a link to that python in /usr/local/bin so it may be easier to use a shebang line like: #!/usr/local/bin/python or #!/usr/local/bin/python2.6 -- Ned Deily, n...@acm.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
