I came across a very useful blog post here about customising the bash shell by editing .bash_profile in nano, a terminal editor for Unix systems that comes with OSX.
In my previous post I talked about using a second Python install on my Macbook and being able to start it in interactive mode on the terminal by modifying the PATH variable. Without doing this, the original Python install would be the one being targeted. Well, instead of having to type this line every time I open the Terminal window, I just had to add it to .bash_profile and now every terminal session receives this setting.
