I try to generally follow The Debian Way, it's easier and usually The Right 
Way, and if it's hard, there's usually a reason  ;-)

Dear Joe,

Nothing at all wrong with perl.

That said "update-alternatives" looks complicated...

Subject: Madonna, the Python and the Contortionist

Yeah, what he said!

I love the contorted bashy python Madonna stuff though (says the happy guy who lives under a rock and codes in perl) ;-)

  Dear Kevin, Jeff et al...

  This is how tired:
(find code at https://github.com/flintiii/pydonna/blob/master/pydonna.sh)

  <begin code>
  #!/bin/bash
  # 2016-12-15 07:34:05 pflint
  # pydonna.sh - A shell tribute to Madonna...
  if [ "$(id -u)" != "0" ]; then
   echo "This script need to run as root, and you are not root"; exit 1>&2
  fi
  echo "Like a Version:  This system contains the following versions of
  python..."
  cd /usr/bin
  ls -1 /usr/bin | grep python |tr -d "python" |grep ^[0-9] |grep -v "
  [a-zA-Z]" | sort -n |uniq
  echo "Enter the number of the version you want to use"
  read version
  echo "ln -s "python$version" python"
  read -p "Press [Enter] to reset link as shown above"
  rm -rf /usr/bin/python
  ln -s python$version python
  <end code>

  To install:
  1. Copy code to pydonna.sh
  2. chmod +x pydonna.sh
  3. take root then ln -s <file> /usr/bin/pydonna

  Go forth and sin no more!  (pun intended :^)
