In this paper we have solved the hydrodynamic equations governing the spherically symmetric isothermal accretion (wind) onto (away from) compact objects using various pseudo-Schwarzschild potentials.These solutions are essentially one parameter solutions in a sense that all relevant dynamical as well as thermodynamic quantities for such a flow could be obtained (with the assumption of a one-temperature fluid) if {\it only one} flow parameter (temperature of the flow $T$) is given. Also we have investigated the transonic behaviour of such a flow and showed that for a given $T$, transitions from subsonic to the supersonic branch of accretion (wind) takes place at different locations depending on the potentials used to study the flow and we have identified these transition zones for flows in various such potentials.
