Hi Myles,

The `org-babel-python-command' variable is used to decide which python
executable is used to run non-interactive python code.  Session
evaluation is performed using the interactive python mode defined in the
`org-babel-python-mode' variable.

,----
| org-babel-python-mode is a variable defined in `ob-python.el'.
| Its value is python
| 
| Documentation:
| Preferred python mode for use in running python interactively.
| This will typically be either 'python or 'python-mode.
| 
| [back]
`----

From there the selected interactive python back-end is responsible for
all python interaction and you would want to look at the relevant
documentation for that tool to find out how to specify which flavor of
python is used.

Hope this helps -- Eric
