title: How do I symlink python to the osx default python?
body: <p>Currently I use <code>conda</code> to manage my python installation, and I only installed <code>python3</code>. </p>
  
  <pre><code>$ which python
  /Users/username/miniconda3/bin/python
  $ which python3
  /Users/username/miniconda3/bin/python3
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So now both <code>python</code> and <code>python3</code> point to the same target:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ python
  Python 3.5.1 |Continuum Analytics, Inc.| (default, Dec  7 2015, 11:24:55) 
  [GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5577)] on darwin
  Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
  &gt;&gt;&gt; 
  $ python3
  Python 3.5.1 |Continuum Analytics, Inc.| (default, Dec  7 2015, 11:24:55) 
  [GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5577)] on darwin
  Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
  &gt;&gt;&gt; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I imagine this is probably not a very good idea and <code>brew doctor</code> also complained that</p>
  
  <pre><code>Warning: python is symlinked to python3
  This will confuse build scripts and in general lead to subtle breakage.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So how can I point <code>python</code> to the osx system default python 2.x version?</p>
