Hi, I've made a total mess of python (I installed python2.6 from source, installed python 2.6 from an installer (http://jaredforsyth.com/ content/install-python-26-ubuntu)). The source version installed into /usr/local/, and the installer version installed into /usr/.
After installing python from source, I installed Django (which installed into the correct location). I then tried installing PIL (python imaging library) - which didn't install into the correct location. That's why I thought I'd give the installer a go. I then decided that I should try revert back to python 2.5. So I deleted the python2.6 files and folders from /usr/local/lib, /usr/ local/bin, /usr/lib/, /usr/bin/. when I run python though, it still says it's python 2.6.1...... I thought that trying to reinstall python2.5 again might overwrite the python version, but unfortunately it doesn't. I looked up the python doc in the man pages (http:// manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/intrepid/en/man1/python.1.html), and searched over the internet, but haven't found out how to revert to a previous version of python, or change the version. The only real viable solution for me at the moment is to reinstall ubuntu and start again - although I would consider this to be a bit of a cheats way - as in the end, I haven't really learnt anything (apart from the fact that I probably don't want to mess with the python versions!) Surely somebody must know how to setup which python version they wish to use?
