Python Path

[diffuser78]

I have two python 2.4s on my Ubuntu Linux box. One is Python 2.4.2 and
other is Python 2.4.3. I use SPE as an IDE for coding. I have written a
small app in wxPython. If I run it from SPE it just works fine, but if
I run it from console it gives me import wx eror.

Following is the log which you might find helpful to answer my post.
1) ***When I just type python on console I get following

5) *** on which python I get the following
which python
/opt/ActivePython-2.4/bin/python
I want to get rid of ActivePython which I happend to install because I
was trying to Test the IDE by ActiveState and I think this version of
Python was installed by it.

I am happy using Python 2.4.3 but there is not way I am being able to
use it on console.
Every help is appreciated.

Thanks

I'm not exactly sure how to change the version you are using (I'm not
yet a Linux user!), but I do know that it is highly recommend that you
leave any pre-existing versions of Python on your system, because your
OS or other apps might rely on it. If you are sure ActivePython
installed it, then it's okay to uninstall. It's probably still safe to
uninstall ActivePython, because it won't remove anything it didn't put
on your system in the first place. Just don't uninstall the other
version of Python by itself, because it might have come with Ubuntu
already and the system might need it.

In my .basrc file I commented the line of ActivePyton and after reboot
everything is fine now.

I can use Python 2.4.3 even on console and SPE both.

thanks
