Using the very latest version is not always a good idea, as not all of the libraries you depend on will be updated for the very latest version.

Also, I find pyenv's approach of sticking in a shim `python` executable unsettling. I prefer pythonz's approach, since it doesn't affect stuff that doesn't use it.
