"python" is usually merely a link on your "main" python distribution (it's the same for many other things, gcc for example). python (and all the python versions) are in /usr/bin for the deb'. To rebind it, just remove the current link $ rm /usr/bin/python then create a new symbolic link to /usr/bin/python2.4 $ ln -s /usr/bin/python2.4 /usr/bin/python (you may have to use *sudo* to perform these operations BTW) Voila, you're done, calling python now starts the python2.4 interpreter. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
