"which pyside-uic" gives a different file from what bash tries to execute

Question

So i've been trying to undo the braindamage that is my pyside installation, by completely removing all trace of it, and then reinstalling it. Surfice to say it's been a pain.

I'm currently encountering something really quite odd;

$ which pyside-uic
~/pkg/pyside-sandbox/bin/pyside-uic
$ pyside-uic -o src/ui_mainWindow.py ui/mainWindow.ui
bash: /home/will/python-modules/bin/pyside-uic: No such file or directory

note that the pyside-uic it's trying to use when i run it is not the same as the one which pyside-uic returns.

What the hell is going on?

Answer 1

In BASH, the command to find what file will be executed isn't which, it's type. The which command may not give you the correct answer. On my system, it's a command in /usr/bin/which.

See if that helps.
