 the Python library is found in a fixed location relative to the Python
 interpreter executable.  In particular, it looks for a directory named

 executable named \file{python} is found on the shell command search

 For instance, if the Python executable is found in
 \file{/usr/local/bin/python}, it will assume that the libraries are in
-\file{/usr/local/lib/python\version}.  (In fact, this particular path

 is also the ``fallback'' location, used when no executable file named
 \file{python} is found along \envvar{PATH}.)  The user can override
 this behavior by setting the environment variable \envvar{PYTHONHOME},
