I am on a Raspberry Pi, and by default the following symbolic links were created in /usr/bin:

/usr/bin/python -> /usr/bin/python2.7
/usr/bin/python2 -> /usr/bin/python2.7
/usr/bin/python3 -> /usr/bin/python3.2

Most of my work is done in Python 3, so I decided to recreate /usr/bin/python to point to /usr/bin/python3.2 instead. Does this have any negative consequences when I install packages or run pip? Are there utilities that depend on the alias python in the search path and end up doing the wrong things?
Yes, there are many applications and scripts that is written for python 2, and they usually come pre-installed in your linux distribution. Those applications expect python binary to be version 2. And they will most likely break if you force them to run on python 3.
Is the symbolic link python important?
