[Tutor] Wrong version of Python being executed

[Tony Cappellini]

Thanks for replying Kent.
This is quite a strange mystery.

No- The shebang line is for non-Windows systems (Unix variants)

I run the script by typing python script.py

Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Apr 18 2007, 08:51:08) [MSC v.1310 32 bit
(Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import logging
>>> logging.__file__
'C:\\PYTHON25\\lib\\logging\\__init__.pyc'


What do you get if you print sys.path from
> the interpreter?

>>> import sys
>>> sys.path
['', 'C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\python25.zip', 'C:\\PYTHON25\\DLLs',
'C:\\PYTHON25\\lib', 'C:\\PYTHON25\\lib\\plat-win', 'C
:\\PYTHON25\\lib\\lib-tk', 'C:\\PYTHON25',
