Wing IDE itself runs under a private copy of Python 1.5.2, so the message
you're seeing is referring to that.  The debug process should be running
under whatever version of Python is found first on the path, or the one
you configure in the Project Properties dialog from the Project menu. (On
Windows, it's actually not scanning the path by default but instead
looking for the latest version of Python in the registry).

You can verify that the correct Python is used by looking at the Show
Analysis Stats item in the source menu or by typing 'import sys' and
'sys.version' in the Interactive Shell.

If Wing is finding Python 2.2, it will fail as that version of Python is
not yet supported in 1.1b8.  2.0 and 2.1 are supported, however.

If that's not the problem, please send details bugs@wingide.com.  Your
attached file was stripped by an email gateway or otherwise lost from your
message before it arrived here so it may be necessary to send the info
some other way.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for using Wing IDE!
