title: "python -v" output too long
body: <p>I just installed Ubuntu on my laptop, and I entered <code>python -v</code> in the terminal to see if Python was installed. It is indeed installed, but before the line detailing the version I have installed (e.g. <code>Python 2.7.2+ (default, Oct  4 2011, 20:03:08)</code>, there is a large amount of output with lines like:</p>
  
  <pre><code># installing zipimport hook
  import zipimport # builtin
  import errno # builtin
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I remember correctly, this sort of thing isn't usually output from <code>python -v</code>. Also, when I use CTRL + D to exit the interpreter, I get a series of outputs that look like:</p>
  
  <pre><code># cleanup[2] warnings
  # clear sys.path_hooks
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Can someone explain what's going on here, and if something is wrong how I can fix it? Thanks. Also, if this is actually what the output is and my memory is wrong, that would be great! :)</p>
