No.  IBM (this is a thinkpad) has installed a python in c:\ibmtools\python22
I'm guessing they use it for some kind of maintenance.

Up to now, it's existance has been almost entirely benign, except for a 
warning I get when starting ipython.  There's an issue somewhere with 
the case of the file fcntl.pyc (vs FCNTL.pyc) and/or the pythoncaseok 
environment variable.  I swatted it down a couple of times, but it keeps 
coming back.  I realize that things aren't exactly as they should be, 
but nothing has broken ... yet.

IBM has set pythonpath for me:

C:\Documents and Settings\Gary>echo %pythonpath%
C:\IBMTOOLS\utils\support;C:\IBMTOOLS\utils\logger

However, if I un-set %pythonpath% I still can't import pylab.  (No 
change in behavior)

%path% references c:\ibmtools\python22, but only after all the listings 
for c:\python23.    AFAICT no other environment variable references the 
IBM python.

Thanks for your help on this.  Since I appear to be an isolated case, 
shall we take this off-group?
