In an attempt to get CairoPlot to run correctly on my Ubuntu 11.04, I stupidly copied the CairoPlot.py into my /usr/local/bin/python dir. When I realized that this wasn't the way to go, I deleted the file, now running 'python' in terminal just hangs, I have restarted the machine, any ideas?

What worked for me, was to start the

apt-get purge python

then kill it after a few minutes, then open a new terminal and:

apt-get --reinstall install python
