Hello everyone. I use to be able to type the name of a Python program that I wanted to run at a xterminal and it worked like this:
Now after doing an upgrade I have to preface it with "python2.5" to get it to run, such as:Code:somepythonprogram.py
Plus, many of the Python programs that once worked no longer launch such as DialCentral and the newly installed mClock.Code:python2.5 somepythonprogram.py
I've uninstalled Python-2.5 and re-installed it a million times. I've done "apt-get python...." a million times. I've installed Python launcher in hopes that something would get fixed but to no avail. I've also read and tried different things for hours on end and nothing seems to be fixing it.
What's the output if you run "python /usr/bin/mClock"?
From the terminal, I mean.
Also, it would be useful if you upload the file created with:
"dpkg -l python* > /media/mmc2/installed_python_packages.txt"

Oh man, thanks yerga for helping. Here are the results you asked for.
As a test, I have also tried typing:
And I get this error message:

Code:

Code:
python2.5 /usr/bin/mClock
Code:
File "/usr/bin/mClock", line 2
exec python -O /usr/lib/mClock/mClock.py $

Did you have python launcher installed and then uninstall it?
I had this same issue a week or so ago, and it looks like when I uninstalled python launcher it didn't repair the link for "/usr/bin/python"
If you run the command
it will give you the target of the existing python link. it should point to "/usr/bin/python2.5", or "./python2.5" (the former being preferred)
If it shows a different target, you'll need to run the following command as root to get it working:
I hope this helps fix the issues you're seeing!

rm python ln -s /usr/bin/python2.5 python

hvacengi,
YES, YES, YES... That did it. Awesome. I'd hit 'thanks' ten times but that would just leave you with no thanks.
Thank you both for your awesome help.

Ha ha, I'm glad I could help out!
