Python 2.5 and 2.5?! Wow! And, err, what on earth did you install tcsh for? csh is a very very bad shell.
Apologies: 2.4 and 2.5. In what way is csh bad, pray? I've been typing commands into it for about 25 years with no problems.
I seem to remember that tcsh has no function support. There was a document/essay written by somebody that gave reasons why we should just avoid tcsh like the plague.
Presumably that's avoiding it for writing shell scripts, not as an interactive shell?
(Personally I hate ending up with csh as my shell, but I believe it's still the default on Solaris/other BSD based OSes?)
