 Now, CentOS will typically keep Python2.4 as your default Python, so we can tell IOTop to use Python 2.6 in two ways. One would be to relink the <c>/usr/local/bin/python</c> binary to <c>/usr/local/bin/python2.6</c>, or we can simply change the sha-bang at the beginning of the iotop script to use he 2.6 binary instead. We choose the latter so as to not break compatibility with Python2.4-exclusive scripts. Now, CentOS will typically keep Python2.4 as your default Python, so we can tell IOTop to use Python 2.6 in two ways.
