I'll leave that to > somebody who understands Unix-land better than I do . . . Try 'whereis python'. (I don't really know if it can list several different installations, I get only one.) Generally a great help is the 'locate' utility, but it first needs a database created: sudo /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb (sudo needs your password and locate.updatedb a long while...) and then locate python | grep bin/python (that lists 22 versions on my machine; some are only symlinks, others are part of applications or on my second partition with an old installation...) 'locate' is '/usr/bin/locate'; you should add '/usr/bin' to your PATH if it's not part of it already. BTW, instead of pure 'ls' you could use 'ls -FGAlh' to get more detailed information; I mapped that onto 'll' with: alias ll='ls -FGAlh' If you want to know which of your Pythons is used if you type 'python', try: which python Greetlings from Lake Constance!
