It is on my box too.
On my box, python2.1 is a symlink to the python 2.1 interpreter also :-)

replace with:
"/usr/bin/python2.1 w_pcgi"

and all should work fine (permissions and other unixy details permitting)

Yep. You do. The three python versions coexist happily on RedHat without 
stepping on each other though, so don't worry :-)
