Not using python 2.3 perhaps?

Good call, looks like python is 2.5 (although the typical 2.3 package is installed). Probably, someone else using this machine needed 2.5 at some point.

Let's say we still have a good reason to need python 2.5. Is this going to break a lot of the system-whatever commands? Are there any workarounds?

Thanks again,
Matt
