[Tutor] specifying my "default" python installation

[Debby Mendez]

OK thanks.  It sounds like maybe this is all normal then, not an indication
that something went wrong with my 3.2 install.

I am not really familiar with BSD but *nix has the application
update-alternatives. That will do what you want. Otherwise, you could change
the name/location in the bin directory.
It is likely that python is a symlink to python2.6 and all you need to do is
change the symlink to point to python3.2.
If no symlink is used you can rename the binaries instead.

Apologies in advanced if this is way off base.
