[Pythonmac-SIG] a question about paths

[Robert Costain]

Hi there,

I apologise in advance for a somewhat "newbie" question. I am not a 
Python developer.

I run a web server using Jaguar Server (10.2.8). I have an installation 
of Mailman running on this server. It's been working really well for me 
for over 2 years. Last week I upgraded my Mailman install from 2.1.4 to 
2.1.5. I started to notice some interface oddities (messages that 
should have bounced simply disappeared). On the Mailman project page, I 
noticed that Python 2.3 is recommended for Mailman.

I downloaded the source for Python 2.3.4 and ran configure, make and 
make install - I have some experience doing installations like this and 
am quite comfortable doing it.

It appears to have been installed correctly, but when I run "python -V" 
in Terminal to check the version number, it still shows the 
Apple-installed version 2.2.

How do I get the system to default to the new installation of Python?

Thanks in advance,
Rob
