I was thinging about daemons and system-type stuff.
One possible problem with linking from one's home directory is that
home directories are often on different filesystems than /usr/bin (or
wherever python is). Using a symlink doesn't work, the process name
still ends up as python2.6 (or whatever the real binary is called).
