Yes, the preference is still off after restarting.
But I think I have a good lead on the problem though: late in the day
yesterday I found that the problematic machines don't have pywin
installed! Kaching! I'll be the first to admit I need a tutorial or
something explaining the relationship between Python, pywin, and
Softimage. Installing pywin locally fixes the problem and Softimage
correctly uses the system Python.
Now here's my next question: do I really have to install pywin locally
on each machine, or can I not install it in our network's site-packages?

What's the environment look like? (open a Softimage command prompt and run set,
or use Process Explorer on XSI.exe)

Subject: Unchecking the 'Use Python Installed With Softimage' option has no
effect: XSI still runs its own
I have a situation where several of our machines refuse to use the system
Python (2.7.3 64-bit). I uncheck the 'Use Python installed with Softimage'
option, but after restarting, Softimage insists on using its own Python
(2.6.4). Runonce.bat seems to have to effect.
Of course, the machine I use is fine, so testing this is a pain...
Any insight into why Soft would refuse to use the system Python (which again is
2.7.3 64-bit, site-wide). It's jacking up our PyQt experience.
