I have create a local python installation in ~/localpython/python276 After create a virtualenv as py276, I linked the idle to ~/localpython/python276 /bin/idle. I also activated the

$ which python
/home/xxx/virtualenvs/py276/bin/python

$ python
Python 2.7.6 
[GCC 4.6.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.


$ bin/idle
Python 2.7.6
[GCC 4.6.3] on linux2
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information.

All things seems correct. However, if I just use idle as command, it will still use system one, which does not make any sense because which idle returns the correct result.

$ which idle
/home/xxx/virtualenvs/py276/bin/idle
$ idle
Python 2.7.3
[GCC 4.6.3] on linux2
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information.

any idea why this is happening?
