"2.7.x" instead of "2.7x".

Changes look good now. Do you mind squashing this PR to a single commit to keep our commit history tidy? |

I appreciate the wording exists already but "always" seems misleading here given:
This formula installs a python2 executable to /usr/local/bin.
If you wish to have this formula's python executable in your PATH then add
the following to ~/.zshrc:
export PATH="/usr/local/opt/python/libexec/bin:$PATH"
Perhaps, "by default" instead.

I think the existing wording is more succinct and equally clear, so I'd prefer we not make this change, as it only makes the text more repetitive. |
