Change default language versions

[JobIbmJr]

I would like to make Java 7 and Python 3.2 as my defaults. What do I need to change to replace Java 6 and Python 2.7 as defaults?

sudo update-alternatives --config java

For python, not 100% sure, as most seem to run it using python3, as changing the symlink that the command /usr/bin/python points to (the 2.7 version) to the 3.2 version will cause many, if not all the existing python scripts on your system to break.

Thanks -- I forgot about all the legacy Python stuff
