@ -509,14 +509,14 @@ calculates the module search path based upon its best guess for the
location of the standard Python interpreter executable, assuming that
the Python library is found in a fixed location relative to the Python
interpreter executable. In particular, it looks for a directory named
\file{lib/python\version} (replacing \file{\version} with the current
\file{lib/python1.5} (replacing \file{1.5} with the current
interpreter version) relative to the parent directory where the
executable named \file{python} is found on the shell command search
path (the environment variable \envvar{PATH}).
For instance, if the Python executable is found in
\file{/usr/local/bin/python}, it will assume that the libraries are in
\file{/usr/local/lib/python\version}. (In fact, this particular path
\file{/usr/local/lib/python1.5}. (In fact, this particular path
is also the ``fallback'' location, used when no executable file named
\file{python} is found along \envvar{PATH}.) The user can override
this behavior by setting the environment variable \envvar{PYTHONHOME},
