卸载python2.7_如何卸载Python2.6

On my Fedora11 machine which has python2.6 pre-installed on it, I was able to successfully install python 2.7 using the following steps:

wget http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7/Python-2.7.tar.bz2

tar -xvjf Python-2.7.tar.bz2

cd Python*

./configure --prefix=/opt/python27

make

make install

vi ~/.bash_profile

## replaced PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin

## with PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/opt/python27/bin

## reload .bash_profile

source ~/.bash_profile

echo "/opt/python27/lib" > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/python27.conf

ldconfig

However, when I checked the python version the system uses via terminal (python -V), it still shows python 2.6.

How will I make the system use python2.7 as its default python?

Or if possible, how will I uninstall python2.6?

Thanks in advance!

Uninstalling the system Python is a bad idea. There are many other packages and softwares that depend on it. It'll be better that you use python2.7 by either modifying the $PATH or creating an alias e.g. python2.7 that points to the python that you installed in /opt dir.
