I was following certain instructions to install a package and ended up installing another version of python and creating symbolic links (the names I can't recall). Now when I hit python from terminal, it is pointing to /usr/local/python2.7/bin/python2.7. I need to reset the default python to /usr/bin/python. How to do that?
