[Cialug] python

[Nathan Smith]

how do you normally execute a python program?  Type python programname?

whereis executable

or

whereis python

will find most executable programs.

If it is installed correctly, just type "python"

updatedb  (to update the index)

and then

locate keyword

will find specific files with the keyword in the name or path.
