Hi Franck,
this is one of the special features of Priithon:
It installs exclusively into its own folder. It does not touch or
modify anything else on your system.
This is why we have to execute all scripts using
$ priithon AIDA.py ....

instead of just
$python AIDA.py

the "priithon" script sets some environment variables "just for the
time of execution of the script, and only for the script".
Nothing else is affected

"priithon" needs to be a symbolic link to <main priithon
folder>/priithon_script -- if you don't want to type the
..../priithon_script directly.

-Sebastian
