So, I made the leap and uninstalled Python to install Intel's distribution instead, because it conveniently includes Intel's mkl engine pre-packaged inside.

After downloading the package, you see these instructions:

enter image description here

Despite being straightforward, I cannot get the bottom lines to work. Essentially, I cannot get my Mac to recognize this distribution of Python as the default one. No matter how many times I have edited my .profile or .bash_profile (and I have confirmed they work, commenting the whole files makes only the system's version of python visible), which python keeps giving me

/Users/Bob/miniconda3/bin/python

This distribution seems to depend on anaconda, so that is probably making things hard. The current tops of both those files (to no avail) are

export PATH="/Users/Bob/intelpython3/bin:$PATH"
source /Users/Bob/intelpython3/bin/activate root
...
...

How can I fix this problem?

After (unhyperbolically) endlessly searching and testing answers, only one worked on my 2013 macbook pro (OS 10.11.6), which was Ravi G's answer here, How can I permanently add a class path to my Mac terminal? I would love to know one day why both files need to be edited, and why virtually the rest of the internet had missed that ^^.
