'python -v' just runs the python interpreter in verbose mode -- all
those messages are about various libraries the interactive interpreter
loads before it gives you the prompt.

Running 'python -v' didn't (or at least should not) change anything in
your environment.  Can you show us what happens when you try to run
some of your existing code that used to work?
