Oh, I misunderstood the question; I thought you wanted to know what
version of Python it was using.

I have just checked in a fix which puts a warning in ~/.bzr.log if you
are not using cElementTree.  Arguably it should go onto stderr too, but
that might be too noisy.  I hope we can get rid of this dependency in
the near future by storing the inventory and revisions in rio
(rfc-822-like) format.

I don't think you should need to do that.  I just removed my system-wide
cElementTree install and did 'python setup.py install --home ~' in the
cElementTree source directory.  bzr now loads it.

Please try this:

 PYTHONPATH=~/lib/python python -c 'import cElementTree;print cElementTree'
