Path not really given path to Python

Question

The which command does not seem to be giving the right result:

[ray@localhost ~]$ unalias python
bash: unalias: python: not found
[ray@localhost ~]$ unalias which
bash: unalias: which: not found
[ray@localhost ~]$ which python
/usr/local/bin/python
[ray@localhost ~]$ /usr/local/bin/python -V
Python 2.7.6
[ray@localhost ~]$ python -V
Python 2.6.6
[ray@localhost ~]$ ls -l /usr/local/bin/python*
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root   11 Jun 10 12:27 /usr/local/bin/python -> python2.7.6
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 8040 Jun 10 12:21 /usr/local/bin/python2.7
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 8040 Jun 10 12:25 /usr/local/bin/python2.7.6
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 1674 Jun 10 12:23 /usr/local/bin/python2.7-config
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root   16 Jun 10 12:23 /usr/local/bin/python2-config -> python2.7-config
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root   14 Jun 10 12:23 /usr/local/bin/python-config -> python2-config
[ray@localhost ~]$

Though not the problem here, here is some good reading about why not to use which with bash — Eric Renouf

I'm setting that aside for a day I can focus on it. Looks interesting! — Ray Salemi

No, which is fine. bash is confused.
