Hi Julio,

(I've CC'd the address@hidden mailing list, hope that's ok).

Perhaps your system has more than one python installed.  You might try 
doing the following (within Octave):

setenv PYTHON \path\to\your\preferred\python

(Or maybe "sympref python \path\to\your\preferred\python" if you're on 
an older version of Symbolic).

best,
Colin
