Currently running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 , and it has python2.7 as default. In the terminal, i type ‘python’ and it automatically pulls up python2.7. I don’t want that.

from terminal I have to instead type ‘python3.2’ if i want to use python3.2.

How do i change that?

    The safest way is to set an alias in ~/.bashrc:

     alias python=python3
    

    That way you avoid breaking things for scripts relaying on python being python2.
