Looking in my /usr/bin/ directory, I see that 'python2.3' and 'pythonw2.3' are in there, along with just plain 'python'. Using sudo, I copied 'python2.6' and 'pythonw2.6' into /usr/bin, but still emacs calls the old version. Interestingly, the terminal application correctly uses the new version of python when I run it from there.

Hi!
with python-mode i use:

,----[ C-h v py-python-command RET ]
| py-python-command is a variable defined in `python-mode.el'.
| Its value is "ipython"
| 
| Documentation:
| *Shell command used to start Python interpreter.
| 
| You can customize this variable.
|

`----

for me it's ipython but it can be python2.5 or 6 ...
