You have to manually put ActivePython on your path before your older python
1.5.2. Python 1.5.2 is probably on your path in /usr/bin/python or
/usr/local/bin/python. ActivePython 2.0 installs into
/usr/local/ActivePython-2.0 so you have to put
"/usr/local/ActivePython-2.0/bin" in the front of your path.
If you use the BASH shell then you can do this by putting this line in your
~/.bashrc file:
export PATH=/usr/local/ActivePython-2.0/bin:$PATH
