This is what I have with system python 2.6: $ cat ~/bin/python_32 #! /bin/bash export VERSIONER_PYTHON_PREFER_32_BIT=yes /usr/bin/python "$@" I use it for wxpython, which only seems to work in 32 bit mode. I can't remember where I found it. Maybe I read the man page? -- Arnaud -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
