It is usually correctly set.
Just start Preferences, go to Python tab and push the button [Setup 
Python interpreter]. You should see the default interpreter setting and 
modify it if necessary (button [modify]).
What is the problem with it exactly?

I suggest you play a bit around with the menu items dedicated to 
Snippets. Don't forget to click on the visible entries to get the other 
content related to them visible (maybe this is your problem - you expect 
to see more, but have to select first - not very intuitive in case you 
have generated only one entry and wonder why its details are not visible 
in the other text boxes). If there are no any entries just [Add] some. 
And to see how to work with them go to menu 'Windows' and 'Open Snippets 
Window') to get the available ones displayed (I have got them working 
knowing nothing about them before while I was writing my first response 
here, so it can't be that hard ;)

If the above does not help, best email directly the author of UliPad 
(and greet him from me :) and describe your problem in a very easy to 
understand and as simple English as possible.
Usually you will get a very fast and a very informative response (but 
please don't care much about correct English). Also bug reports (or best 
directly the patches) are very welcome. Best if you were able to provide 
your own notes from what you have learned as a kind of contribution to a 
better future documentation.
If nothing suddenly changed, I can assure you, that you can't get 
anywhere else better support directly from the author as it is currently 
available for UliPad. And as it is all Python, so you are free to learn 
from it or try out your own ideas for extensions.
