Here (MX 17), I'd also shoot myself in the foot if I installed something as "/usr/local/bin/python" :) $ echo $PATH /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin I imagine there's good reason for /usr/local/bin to override /usr/bin ... but it also seems like it's a good way to cause "fun(tm)" problems. -- |_|O|_| Registered Linux user #585947 |_|_|O| Github: https://github.com/dpurgert |O|O|O| PGP: 05CA 9A50 3F2E 1335 4DC5 4AEE 8E11 DDF3 1279 A281 -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
