Subject: Inferior process mystery
Date: Wed, 25 Apr 2012 10:46:11 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <m2y5pjeuoc.fsf@boostpro.com> (raw)


Any of the following will launch /opt/local/bin/python, which is in my
PATH:

 * `M-! python RET'
 * `M-! python& RET'
 * `M-x shell RET python RET'
 * `C-u M-x run-python RET env python RET'

However, although the variable `python-command' has the value "python",
either of these will launch /usr/bin/python:

 * `M-x run-python'
 * `C-u M-x run-python RET python RET'

I'm at a loss to explain why python-command is not selecting the same
Python that's in my PATH and run by env.  Can someone explain why this
is happening?

Many thanks in advance,
