OS X install confusion

[John Fisher]

Hi Groupies,

I have an Intel Macbook running OS X 10.4.

It came installed with Python 2.3.5. I have since installed MacPython
with version 2.4.4, cool.

When I open a bash terminal session and type python, it brings up
version 2.3.5. If I type IDLE it brings up version 2.4.4. 

My question: what do I have to do to get it to bring up 2.4.4 with the
"python" command?

Thanks for bringing light to my ignorance.
