Python is designed such that one can install and use different versions
in parallel - for example the deafult directopries for libraries are
/usr/lib/python1.5/ and /usr/lib/python2.2/ if you have installed python
1.5.x and 2.2.x, also executables are python2, python2.2 and python1.5,
with plain python being a link to one of these.

I guess that anyone who needs safe Restricted Execution will be using
1.5 at least for that purpose until RExec is fixed in 2.x.
