Mixing versions of Python has always proved problematic for me.  The way 
I check to see where things are is just to look in the site-packages 
directories of the various Python directories (e.g., 
/usr/lib/python2.4).  In addition, I also look under /usr/local/lib just 
in case I didn't do a "--prefix=/usr" when installing something.

Orca trunk is for GNOME 2.22.  We do, however, develop with trunk on 
GNOME 2.20 systems quite a bit.  To do so requires grabbing other 
dependencies from trunk, since they contain bug fixes and enhancements 
needed by Orca.  I believe at-spi is probably the only one you need to 
grab from trunk, but I always grab/build these: at-spi, atk, gail, 
gnome-speech, gnome-magnifier, orca, accerciser.
Hope this helps,

Will
