Ned Deily added the comment:

Python.org installers do not install anything to /usr/bin; they do, by default, 
install symbolic links in /usr/local/bin.  Python 3 installers set the symlink 
"/usr/local/bin/python3" to the most recently installed version.  The Python 
Launcher app has several open design issues, including whether it should be 
included at all.  Currently, each version of Python (from python.org) installs 
its own copy of Python Launcher.app but they all share the same preference 
file.  You can set the path to your preferred interpreter version by launching 
Python Launcher.app and then, in the Preferences pane, selecting the file type 
(e.g. "Python Script") and typing the interpreter path into the "Interpreter:" 
text box (e.g. "/usr/local/bin/python3.4"), rather than using any of the preset 
defaults in the pulldown list.
