MP: that is probably because you have two versions installed now. Try doing “which python” (without the quotes of course) and see if it is pointing to the one you installed or not. If it is not, you can either uninstall older version or rename old binary to something like python.version in case you needed it. Let me know if you need more help.

Unfortunately it’s still not working for me
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “./phpsh”, line 20, in ?
import readline
ImportError: No module named readline

however, when I do a python -V, it doesn’t respond with 2.5.1. It responds as it did before I began with “Python 2.4.3″. should I do a full uninstall of python first? Or is there an environment variable I need to toggle?

Thanks for the post! It helped me solve a problem I was having with readline missing from python2.5
