Richard,

Thanks, I guess we're getting closer to a solution.

The version is red hat 5.3.

I did what you suggested:

The pathing to the binary from inside the application is:

/usr/lib/python2.4

If I call the same python script from the server CMD then the pathing is:

/usr/local/lib/python2.7

Now how can I change the calling to python call to be python2.7, what should I put in my python script, it starts with import sys ...

I'm not a python expert! Would appreciate your help.

Katy

I suspect that the pathing for the python reference is pointing to a
non-standard location (i.e., not the system default location, given
that you say the system version is 2.7) and that the version
installed there was changed in some fashion.

To figure things out, find the module(s) that are calling python and
check the pathing to the binary, then check things from there. The
solution may be as easy as changing the pathing on the python call
to the system-default location.

By the way, what linux distribution and release/version?
