Hi Pieter and Nate,
Thanks for the information. I am in the process of having python 2.5.5 installed under "/usr/local/BIMAS/python_255/" on our system. Pieter indicated it was "easy" to setup galaxy to use an alternate installation of python. Any tips on what needs to be changed/configured before setting things up (./setup.sh) and for subsequently running galaxy (./run.sh)?
Hi John,
There's no longer a need to run setup.sh, in fact this script has been removed from the most recent versions of Galaxy.
The only thing you'll need to do is ensure that the newer version of the `python` command appears in front of any other `python`s in your $PATH:
% export PATH=/usr/local/BIMAS/python_255/bin:$PATH % sh run.sh
For persistance, set the PATH declaration in your shell's startup files (~/.bash_profile).
--nate
Thanks again...

Hi John and Nate,
But to make the tool search work in the web interface you'll
need Python 2.5 or higher, so it's probably a better idea to get a newer version of Python anyway. (We have Galaxy on two CentOS servers, installed a newer Python in addition to the OS supplied Python 2.4 and modified the environment for Galaxy so it uses the newer version: was easy to do and works well.)
