./configure --prefix=/usr/local

Then python would be /usr/local/bin/python.

For bash put this somewhere near the end of your .bashrc or /etc/bashrc:

export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"

Then when you attempt to run the python binary it will be found in the
place you installed it first, not where the system version was
installed.
