When I altinstall python 2.7.12 with
./configure --prefix=/opt/python --enable-shared
it comes up as python 2.7.5 (system default python)

But altinstall with
./configure --prefix=/opt/python
it comes up as 2.7.12, what am I missing?

This is on RHEL 7.2

This is not a pathing issue:

Without --enable-shared:
[root@myrig ~]# /opt/python/bin/python2.7 -V
Python 2.7.12

With --enable-shared:
[root@myrig ~]# /opt/python/bin/python2.7 -V
Python 2.7.5
