[Python-Dev] problem after installing python 3.2.2

[Sandro Tosi]

Hello Vahid,
i'm sorry but this mailing list is not the right place where to ask
such question, I suggest get in touch with
http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list for support.

you're using the system 'python' here, not the new installed, which
probably has landed in /usr/local (or where you installed it).

from a Debian Developer perspective, I'd suggest you not to switch the
Debian default interpreter to python3.2 since it will make several
system tools/debian packages to fail. If you need 3.2 explicitly,
state it in the shebang or call the script with py3.2 explicitly.
