I have looked in /usr/bin more carefully now. I see that I have files
pydoc, pydoc2.4 and pydoc2.5

pygettext, pygettect2.4 and pygettext2.5.

both pydoc and pygettext are links to the relevant file version 2.4. So
if I change the link 'python' above as per your suggestion, do I also
need to change these other links? It seems that although I was given
both version of python, all the 'plain' links point to the 2.4 versions
at the moment. There could be implications to changing these links.
