Python "command not found" after trying new to move to new python version

Question

I ran the command

ln -sf /usr/bin/python2.6 /usr/local/bin/python

Now when typing python on the command line I get "No such file or directory" How can I make python work normally again?

Follow-up question: I just installed python 2.7. How can I make this the default python? I am running Linux.

Have you checked that there *is* a `/usr/bin/python2.6`? You make 2.7 the default **the same way**, once you've found it! — jonrsharpe, Jan 16 '15 at 17:17
