You'll need to recompile Inline::Python.
It doesn't *call* /usr/bin/python from within your perl code, instead,
it has compiled some xs with an embedded python interpreter.
When you run Makefile.PL, it looks for the first python in your path
(and/or prompts you about which to use) and then queries that python
for the C library paths which get used for linking into the xs.
So, if you need to switch back and forth, you need to build multiple
Inline::Python's and deal with it via $PERL5LIB, etc.
