Use interactive python in pythonbrew

Question

I installed pythonbrew and then switch to python3.2.

$pythonbrew install 3.2 
$pythonbrew switch 3.2

Then I found I couldn't run python interactively:

$python
Usage: /home/raincole/.pythonbrew/pythons/Python-3.2/bin/python [--prefix|--exec-prefix|--includes|--libs|--cflags|--ldflags|--extension-suffix|--help|--abiflags]

Am I really using python 3.2? I can't even run python --version to see what I'm doing.

I ran into the same problem. Silly me, I didn't know that Python 3 interpreters run as a program named python3. Type python3 at the command line and you should be fine.
