Hi Beema,
This question is about your operating system, not about Python. On my  
system (OS X), having installed Python to /usr/local, it was  
sufficient to add this to my ~/.profile

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


In general, check out the documentation for the PATH statement for  
your operating system and make sure your preferred Python appears  
first in the path.
