Guys,
I've upgraded my version of Python to 2.5 as I wanted to use some functions available in the newer version. Wondering if there is any way to point the module editor to recognize the updated python libs?

I am helping a VJ friend of mine develop some modules so she can do some interesting stuff.
I have searched the forums and find it strange that there is no more talk about this issue. I would like to use python libraries in Modul8, in particular openCV. However, in order to compile these libraries (python bindings for openCV), I absolutely need to know how to tell Modul8 which Python to use as an interpreter, and if that cannot be changed, then I need to know which Python version is being used.
I tried to break Modul8 by removing python links in /usr/bin/ with no luck, so after tinkering a while I realized that the version of Modul8 I am working with (2.6) used Python 2.3. Does this mean we can't update and use a newer version of Python?

In some cases it's as easy as adapting a library written for a later version of Python to an older version. That is If the library doesn't rely on newer technology that is depending on a later Python version.
