Hello,

I'm having problems trying to get SPYCE to use an older version of  
Python installed on our server, instead of a newer version (ie. I want  
it to use python2.3 instead of python2.4). Our server has both  
versions, but Python2.3 has some modules in its 'site-packages' folder  
that I need specifically for my spyce program to function. The modules  
that I need are present in Python2.4, but they have major changes  
which cause my script fail, so I really need the spyce script to use  
python2.3. I've tried doing this:

import sys
sys.path = ['/my path to python2.3/site-packages/'] + sys.path

but the spyce script still uses python2.4 ( I can tell from the error  
output when it gives a path to the modules causing problems). How can  
I tell Spyce to use Python2.3 instead of Python2.4? Is there an  
environmental variable I can set from within my Spyce script? Any  
suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,
Hardeep
