IDLE Python: How to change the default python shell

[kvorion]

I believe when you start the IDLE gui for python, the version of python it runs is the default distribution on your box (/usr/bin/env python).

What should I do so that I can use a different distribution of python with IDLE? I am guessing it might require editing some configuration files; I am just not sure which one(s).

Please help.

Thanks
