+Debian Default Python
+----------------------
+
+Keep in mind that this can break some system things (eg, arandr, some cups
+things).
+
+To make Python 3.4 the default for `python` system-wide, do something like:
+
+ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python3.4 2
+
+For an individual user you can also just create a `python` alias. See also:
