New issue 886 by [email protected]: runner variable in /usr/local/bin/pybot leads to old version after major update for python and rfw
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=886

Linux system, Ubuntu 11.04

Given the situation, that python2.6, rfw and third party libraries are installed on a machine.

When i upgrade python to 2.7 and reinstall rfw and third party libs, pybot still works with the third party libraries installed in python2.6 folder.

Reason is, that in /usr/local/bin/pybot still references to  python2.6:

runner="/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/robot/runner.py"

So this is not changed by installation process of rfw with new python version.

Maybe that's intended behaviour, but when i install a new version of third party libraries this is done in 2.7 folder.

But executed testcases still work with old version installed under 2.6 which may (and will) confuse users.
