Thanks for reporting!

Sadly telling people to use `which` won't help them in adding Python's installation path to their PATH, as `which` itself uses PATH.

If you feed you can rewrite this to be cleaner, don't hesitate to open an issue on bugs.python.org and if you can even open a pull request on https://github.com/python/cpython/ (the file you have to modify is Doc/tutorial/interpreter.rst).

BTW if you're starting to lean Python in 2019 you better start with Python 3.7, not 2.6. The Python 2 end of life is jan 1 2020. 2.6 has not received any patch since 2013, better not touch this snake, even with a stick ;)

Bests,
