Time to change!
 
Hi All,
I installed a newer version of python in /usr/local/bin/python2.6.
Now I want to use that python and only that one. When I type "Which python", I want to see /usr/local/bin/python2.6, NOT /usr/bin/python, which is old one (2.4)

Also, I want to see the same even after I reboot. How do I do that?

Thanks for your time, folks.

Have a look at the following link (specifically the last answer):

How is it supposed to say "python2.6" when you search for "python"? It will only work that way when you name python 2.6 "python".
