locate "*bin*python"

better, but it won't pick up: /usr/bin/python2.3, for instance, which it 
should:

locate "*bin*python?.?"

will catch that, but not the former. I think locate follows glob rules, 
so there may be better ways.

You do have to make sure that the locate DB is up to date, I'm not sure 
when it gets updated by the system.
