If you do that please be sure to mention that you can also just use:
python2.4
at the prompt and in the #! line of scripts.
You probably need to put "/usr/local/bin" in the PATH anyway, but it may
or may not be before "/usr/bin". It's still a mystery to me why most
systems don't have /usr/local/bin in the PATH by default.
By the way, modifying those sym links in Linux is probably not a good
idea either. Some Linux systems use python for system services (RedHat
and Gentoo, at least), and you wouldn't want to mess those up either.
I really wish system builders would hard-code the path or version of
python in the system scripts, then this would be so much easier!
