That just means that you don't have the "where" command installed. Oh well, if it's not installed you can't use it. (I don't have it installed on any of my systems either.) > also how can a link the newset python to just /usr/bin/python. Don't do that, you will break your system. The OS expects the python command to be Python 2, not Python 3, and ESPECIALLY not an alpha-quality version 3.4. If you decide to ignore this advice, and break your system, don't bother ask for help here. You won't get any from me. > here is what i tried > > root@secure [~]# ln -s /usr/local/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python ln: > creating symbolic link `/usr/bin/python': File exists root@secure [~]# That's not a Python issue, that's a basic Linux sys admin issue. Go buy yourself a book on Linux and study that. Or do some googling. Read the man page for ln. Or just spend three seconds thinking about what an error message like "File exists" could possibly mean. Really Nikos, you're not a beginner at this. Your English is excellent. Between simple logic and Google, you ought to be able to work out what "File exists" means faster than writing a post and sending it here. -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
