Subject: [Idle-dev] Making idle choose different python versions
Message-ID: <loom.20101109T072227-60@post.gmane.org>


Hi, I would request help in the following problem. 

Problem:

I have installed Python 2.6.5 and then I installed Coopr
(https://software.sandia.gov/trac/coopr/wiki/GettingStarted/Installing)
for optimization related purpose. Now coopr when installed has 
a python.exe file of its own in Python26\coopr\bin directory which it uses to
access the modules in coopr. Coopr modules "cannot" be accessed using the
python.exe present in \Python26 directory.

Now my question is how do I make idle choose the python present
 in the directory Python26/coopr/bin. Idle by default chooses the python in the
/Python26 directory.

Things I tried:

1. I tried changing the "start in" directory of idle 
(by right clicking and going to properties). It did not help

2. Added PYTHONPATH in environment variables (of the system) 
and set  PYTHONPATH = C:\Python26\coopr\bin. This also 
does not work.

Any help/pointers is appreciated.

Thanks,
Ranjan

Basically, idle uses the python executable that idle itself was running
with.  So try running
  /Python26/cooper/bin/python -m idlelib.idle
or
  /Python26/cooper/bin/python /Python26/Lib/idlelib/idle.pyw

Also, you might want to install coour without isolation from the test of
your python installation - according to the site,
  easy_install coopr
should do it.
