conflict between multiple installs of python (linux)

[catalinfest at gmail.com]

Is some problems with 2.5 i see something on internet (ex: ctypes )
So i try to install 2.5.1 for pyglet1.1, but not work with ctypes .
So ctypes lib is on the path lib's !?
But python2.6 work with ctypes.
The python2.5 and 2.6 have been installed with same command:
python setup.py install
If you see my code :

 python2.5
Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Jul  4 2008, 14:55:17)
[GCC 4.3.1] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import ctypes
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.5/ctypes/__init__.py", line 10, in
<module>
    from _ctypes import Union, Structure, Array
ImportError: No module named _ctypes
>>> import pyglet

    import ctypes

    from _ctypes import Union, Structure, Array

python (default python )

>>> import ctypes
>>> import pyglet
>>> print pyglet.version
1.1beta2
>>>


Try python 2.6
To see the path this is some code:

import sys
print sys.path
print sys.prefix
print sys.prefix

Have a nice day !
