No, I meant:

$ type python
python is /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python

'type' is a bash builtin that tells you how bash would interpret
a command.  'which' is a separate program, which tells you how
csh would interpret a command.  For a 'bash' user, 'type' is more
accurate than 'which'.  For example, 'type' recognizes 'bash'
builtins.
