So, I have got quite a problem here...I don't know what is going on. I have
a machine running Ubuntu 7.04 for work. At work we have been using
python2.4for a bunch of stuff but now are moving things to
python2.5. Well, all the while to enable updates to work I have had to
switch the symbolic link to python from python2.4 to 2.5. Well, today I
switched the symbolic link to point to python2.5 and when I start python it
brings up python2.4....so I did an ls -l on the /usr/bin directory and
python was linked to python2.5. So I started python by just typing
python2.5....and it brought up python2.4.....python2.5 does not show a link
to anything, it is just a binary executable file....
I decided I should try and reload the python2.5 package so I typed
dpkg-reconfigure python2.5....and I get an exception...this is what i get:
Error in sys.excepthook:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Original exception was:

File "/usr/lib/python2.5/traceback.py", line 171, in format_exception_only
if (isinstance(etype, BaseException) or
NameError: global name 'BaseException' is not defined
Any ideas of what I can do?
Thanks
