Hmmm... It really looks like it's running the wrong one.

I'd find the script that's failing and run it explicitly with the right
Python. So something along the lines of:

-----
% cd path/to/test/script
% which python
/usr/bin/python
% python
Python 2.1 (etc etc etc)
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sys
>>> sys.path 
['/usr/local/lib/python2.1', '/usr/lib/python2.1/site-packages']
>>> import Ft
>>> Ft.__file__
'/usr/lib/python2.1/site-packages/Ft/__init__.pyc'
>>> ^D
% python test.py
....
-----

Try this out and cut-n-paste us the results.
