And did they work? What result did you get? You've been here long enough that you ought to know better than to post a question like this without showing the actual error that you received. > and also is there a way to call it like #!/usr/bin/python Of course there is, but only if you wish to break your system.

Here's one way (although not the best): sudo updatedb locate python | grep bin Or, you can start up the Python version of your choice, then do: py> import sys py> sys.executable '/usr/local/bin/python2.5' -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
