Lets see your code.
sorry for the late reply.
My code is below:
*************************************

mysqldb=$($python -c 'from MySQLdb import connect; print 1' 2>/dev/null)
}
collect() {
candidate=$1
for element in ${array[*]}; do
if [ $candidate == $element ]; then return; fi
done
array=(${array[@]} $candidate)
}

**************************************************************
It does not find python binary under /bin or /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin
Where else would python binary (executable) reside ??
