Hi!
I'd like to propose putting the ~/.local/bin in front of the /usr/bin
on the PATH.
Currently /usr/bin has priority over ~/.local/bin, which causes a
[bug] where the old system-installed executable written in Python
(from /usr/bin) is launched, but it finds new Python sources
(installed into $HOME) which it doesn't work with and crashes.

I believe the current configuration breaks the intuitive expectation
that things installed closer to the user should take priority. That's
for example how it works with Python.
Interestingly, ubuntu and opensuse do not have ~/.local/bin on their
PATH (though Ubuntu has ~/bin) so we can't take guidance there.
Speaking of ~/bin, Ubuntu *does* prioritize it over /usr/bin. This is in
their default ~/.profile (Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS):

Does anyone see a reason not to prioritize ~/.local/bin over /usr/bin?
