Directions for updating Python on Mac #43

(add all this to install.rst)

OSX does not automatically replace all system links to Python 3.

Instructions can be found here. The last step is to replace local (which python) with a symbolic link to /usr/bin/python:

sudo rm /usr/local/bin/python
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python /usr/local/bin/python

The correct version of Python should now be the default when you run python.

I don't think replacing python version globally in the system is a good idea. That's why we virtualenv, so that there can be multiple versions of python.
