[Tutor] Auto-detecting of Python version - wrong!

[Elisha Rosensweig]

Hi All,

I'm trying to use easy_install on my Mac to get the Python networx package.
On my machine I have installed version 2.5 AND 2.6 of Python. However, wehn
I try to install this package, I get:

easy_install networkx
Searching for networkx
Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/networkx/

Best match: networkx 1.5

Processing networkx-1.5.zip
Running networkx-1.5/setup.py -q bdist_egg --dist-dir

*NetworkX requires Python version 2.6 or later (2.5 detected).*
error: Setup script exited with -1



this, despite the fact that my default python is version 2.6:

python
Python *2.6.2* (r262:71600, Apr 16 2009, 09:17:39)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5250)] on darwin



Any ideas how to solve this?

Thanks in advance,

Elisha
