Using it for what? mod_python, or python scripts that start with #!/usr/bin/python? I wouldn't expect either cares about the PATH. -------------END ---------------- Good point. So it won't care what the PATH variable tells. But command line will be working fine. But scripts would fail. So the way out would be to rename the /usr/bin/python to something like /usr/bin/python-<it's version number> and sym link the /opt/python to this /usr/bin/python. And it should now work fine from both cmd line and from scripts. But think twice before you do this. Because the OS scripts which rely on the ver. of python in /usr/bin/python and if your python in /opt/python is not backward compatible with /usr/bin/python then those things will fail. So I think of running sed s$usr/bin/python$/opt/python$g on all the files which are related to the trac and svn. you can find out trac and svn files via listing files via rpm or dpkg. But this sed is a long workaround and YMMV.
