I was starting to think along the same lines, but didn't try it as I've
been having a lot of other program issues to iron out at work. Just
picking the correct path to pass to the cmd makes sense to me though. So
in my case, it would be something like this for 2.4:

cmd = r'c:\python24\python -u "%s" %s %s'%(tmpFileName, self.compiler,
dryRun) 

and for 2.5:

cmd = r'c:\python25\python -u "%s" %s %s'%(tmpFileName, self.compiler,
dryRun) 

Maybe I'll take a whack at it tomorrow and see if it works.

Thanks for the ideas.
