[Spambayes] optimal training ratio of spam/ham

[G. Armour Van Horn]

This sounds like a problem I ran into with another Python program, but I no
longer remember exactly which program it was, or even which of my Red Hat
machines it was on.

However, at least through 7.3 and possibly later, Red Hat depends on having
Python 1.57 (I think) available for certain internal functions. Therefore,
the later versions of Python install as "Python2" instead of "Python" and
programs that need the later need to be specifically pointed at that.

In the earlier case, it took a "configure with python=/path/to/python2" to
make the program work.

Does someone more on top of these things remember the specifics, and know how
Russ can use them in this case?
