That's what was set up by a recent ActiveState installer (well,
recent for me -- I'd still been using 2.5 three months ago)
Yes, it IS in a version numbered directory, but there are copies of
the executable named as plain python, pythonX, and pythonX.Y

PATH, ordered such that the preferred version would be found first when
using just "python".
