[Qgis-user] QGIS Python integration

[Dave Kimble]

Ubuntu 13.10, QGIS 2.0.1, Python 2.7.5, Python 3.3.2
QGIS > Plugins > Manage Plugins > Settings > is saying "no python 
support detected",
but I have v2.7 and v3.3 installed.

QGIS is working OK, but I guess I'm missing some features.
I need to clip some gigantic shapefiles down to just my locality, which 
I think you call geoprocessing, and it looks like ftools will do that, 
but it doesn't show up on the plug-in list.

How do you search the archives for previously asked questions?
