execfile() - change python version?

[Trung Hoang]

On the other thought, using os.system(), i guess that will incur a high
performance penalty invoking an additional python interpreter wouldnt it?

like, its bad enough that python is spawned off the websever with a new
thread yeah?

is it recommended using os.system() ? just to run my scripts with python
2.2?

cheers
