 Unless explicitely stated, all installation can be made by unpacking their
 source distribution, cd-ing to the unpacked directory and then use the
 standard python package ``distutils`` with command-line like::
 
-  python2.2 ./setup.py install [--prefix=$HOME]
+  python ./setup.py install [--prefix=$HOME]
 
 You can specify ``--prefix`` if you want to install the packages in an other
