I'm using Python on a Debian machine, and I've installed both the python-1.5 and the python2 packages. I prefer to use python2. Unfortunately, the way the Debian packages are arranged, many of the additional libraries available for python (such as PyGTK) are as yet only packaged for Python1.5. Apparently libraries packaged for different Python versions are installed in different directories, and each python executable only sees the libs that were packaged for it.
Now, as I understand it, Python2 shouldn't have any difficulty using the python1.5 versions of PyGTK, wxPython, and other such libs. (Correct me if I'm wrong). My question is, how can I make the python2 executable "see" the python1.5 lib dirs, in a way that is effective system-wide and does not have to be specified on the command line every time python is executed? thanks, -Avdi Grimm
