[galaxy-dev] Picard installation problem

[colin molter]

If i type python in a terminal, it says that it uses the version 2.6.7.
And it succeed in creating a class Test().

is it possible that my galaxy distribution is using an older version? is
there a way to check what python version does galaxy use?

thanks
colin
