[Tutor] Python command calls the wrong version!

Dear Python Tutors,

I am new to Python, having perviously used IDL for all my scripts. I was hoping to use Python and so I have just downloaded and installed  version 2.6 using the mac installer. That all went fine.

I then opened up X11, all fine.

Then I typed in >python

and got this message

python: execv: /Applications/scisoft/i386/Packages/Python-2.5.4/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python: No such file or directory

Waaaa!!! why is my python command trying to call a version which does not exist? I appear to have broken Python? I am sire this is a really easy thing to fix but I do not know enough about hows these programmes work to figure it out for myself.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks, Quinn
