@Ravi is recommendable that you remove that version of your system, to prevent problems in the future.

I installed it from the source, and it looks like there is no easy way to uninstall it. In the short run, is there any easy way for me to make sure that the right version of Python is being used?

Or alternatively, is there any way for me to tell the computer to use the system binaries without reinstalling python 3.2?
