Well yes, but if multiple versions are installed and the script has a shebang, then invoking the same interpreter as the shebang does will produce the same result. But this is dancing on the head of a pin anyway; OP just didn't know what version of Python he was running, so he is extremely unlikely to have more than one version installed, and to be choosing amongst them. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
