What I want is if we allow both Python 1.5 _and_ Python 2.0 to be installed simultaneously we also must allow to actually use both at the same time. I want to do both #python15 -c "import sys" and #python20 -c "import sys" Or, I want to switch my alternative settings for the Python interpreter from
