Is the 'y' really there or is it actually the following?

/usr/local/bin/wingide-3.1.4-1-i386-linux/bin/PyCore/python

Wing needs to use the Python that comes with it for its own execution.
Your debug process can run against any Python version 2.0->2.6.

My guess is you have a 64 bit machine and don't have the ia32-libs
compatibility package installed.  The Python Wing is trying to use
is a 32 bit app.

Please let us know if that doesn't help.

Thanks,
