I would have thought that python would be a link to any of the versions installed, but it is not. It appears to be a python executable
15:00:33 /usr/bin $ python -V
Python 2.7.1
Another install shows the same version
15:01:36 /usr/bin $ pythonw2.7 -V
Python 2.7.1
Checksums are, however not the same
15:02:15 /usr/bin $ sum python2.7
60959 35 python2.7
15:03:18 /usr/bin $ sum python
10360 62 python
I wonder .. is it ok to actually
rm python
ln -s python3.2 python
System: MAC
