I'm uncertain. When I refer to /usr/bin/python2.3, I know I get the system vendor's installation. When I use /usr/bin/env python2.3, I may get something that somebody has build and which may not work at all, or lack certain add-on packages that the script needs. It's bad when the script works for some users but fails for others. Regards, Martin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
