If you prefer to have Python 3 only, you could also uninstall Python
2.7.1.
You do not say what version of what distro you are using, nor what
method you
used to install Python 2, so I can't be more explicit.
You might need to ensure that you have at least 1 version of Python2 around
because a lot of Linux tools are still written in v2 and might break if you
uninstall all v2 versions...
I'd go with the python3 tip, that's what I use with 2 versions of Python...
