Have a look at the .py executables that came with your py-2.0, I think
you will find that they use #!...python - which results in the
python-1.5.2 interpreter starting up.  Not what you want!

You need to track down all the executable scripts and make sure they
refer to python2.0.   The fixps.py script in the Tools dir of py-2.0
will automate the task - but look at it first and edit it to reflect
your setup (namely, the location of python2.0).
