My installation of Python3 is failing. I believe this might be due to my $PYTHONPATH which needs to be cleaned up. How can I edit the PYTHONPATH (I do not know where it resides).
What I get when I run python3:
➜ ~ python3
Failed to import the site module
ImportError: bad magic number in 'site': b'\x03\xf3\r\n'
$PYTHONPATH
➜ ~ python -c "import sys; print '\n'.join(sys.path)"

Terminal, and typeecho $PYTHONPATHwill tell you if it has yet been defined on your system. If it has, check where it is defined (possibly in ~/.profile, ~/.bashrc, or ~/.bash_profile, et. al.) so a quickgrep PYTHONPATH ~/.bash*orgrep PYTHONPATH ~/.profilemay reveal the variable definition. (This Q&A may also be helpful). If that Terminal command returns an empty line, create or edit one of those files and add the$PYTHONPATHdefinition you want
