You'll need to associate all the python programs (*.py files) with the
python interpreter. To my knowledge, all official Solaris releases
provide Python 2.3 as /usr/sfw/bin/python. Solaris Express ( stable
development snapshots, usually released every two weeks or so) provide
Python 2.4 as /usr/bin/python.

I would try to use the python executable located in /usr/bin if it is
exists, otherwise use the python executable in /usr/sfw/bin.
