Ramon,
If you really want to use Python 2.3, then it might be best to
just recompile VMD against the version of Python you plan to use so
it is all self-consistent. All the basics about compiling VMD from
source are posted within the Programmer's guide here:
http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/doxygen/
Let us know if you need help,
John Stone
