In Windows Vista x64 I have installed python 2.6 64-bit version and
python 3.1 64-bit version to separate folders. Within the command
interpreter I add python 2.6 to the PATH.
In the command interpreter, When I type python somescript.py with an
import sys
print (sys.version)
in the script, it shows:
3.1.2 (r312:79149, Mar 20 2010, 22:55:39) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)]
In the command interpreter if I type 'python' I see:
Python 2.6.5 (r265:79096, Mar 19 2010, 18:02:59) [MSC v.1500 64 bit
(AMD64)] on win32
Does anybody have any ideas why this is happening ?
At a guess your description of what's happening is not entirely accurate.
Although it could be, since Windows moves in mysterious ways.
Please try the following commands in sequence, with no other commands:
python -V
echo %path%
ftype python.file
python somescript.py
Then right-click the command interpreter's title bar to get edit menu.
/Mark/ the text of your commands and results. Then /copy/ it to the
clipboard (note: you can't use [Ctrl C] here, use the edit menu or just
press Enter). Then post the commands and results here, /paste/ them into
your message (e.g. [Ctrl V]).
And then, if you haven't already figured it out, somebody probably will.

I figured out the cause. One of the Python scripts started with:
#!Path/to/Python31Executable
which evidently caused python 3.1 to be called to run that script. I am
not sure that script was run via an 'import' statement, as opposed to a
'python someScript.py' within another script, but I suspect the latter.
No, this is incorrect. The cause had nothing to do with the above. It
was because .py files were associated with the 3.1 version of Python, no
Python folder was in the PATH, and a Pyhton script invoked python
passing it a .py file. So even though the initial command specified the
2.6 version of Python on a script, subsequent scripts were run using
Python 3.1.
I since changed the association of .py files to the 2.6 version of
Python and everything works correctly.
