   Consider posting any of the following (or whatever else you think
   people may want to know about):
     * Have a tip about using the computer systems at Courant?  [3]Post
       it!
     * Have a favorite place to eat nearby? [4]Post it!

     * Have an unofficial group that gets together regularly or want to
       start one? [6] Post it!
     * Know about some great entertainment in the neighborhood?[7] Post
       it!

   Enjoy!

Subject: [Systems General] Default Python Downgrade
Message-ID: <mailman.990.1360792233.21834.systems_general@cims.nyu.edu>

   Default Python Downgrade

   The default version of Python installed on the Courant systems was
   recently switched to Python-2.7.  This was causing many system
   problems.  As a result, the system default version of python has been
   reverted to Python-2.6.  Never fear however, you can still use
   Python-2.7 as your default.  Before using python simply run the
   following from a command line:

   module load python-2.7

   For a list of other available modules and software versions available,
   run:

   module avail

   If you have any problems, please notify helpdesk at cims.nyu.edu
