Since Python installs using a package manager, you can use Suspicious Package to look at the install script and where everything is installed.

cd /usr/local/bin/

just uninstall 3x version of python if you have already installed it. Eclipse has that option when you click "see whats already installed". Install later 2.7 version. It works for me on my OS X 10.9.2 with Eclipse Juno.

Running System profiler shows only the 2.6 version of Python.
