/usr/local/share/python no longer needed in PATH

See: Homebrew/legacy-homebrew@49d04cb

This results in an unnecessary warning in brew doctor:

Warning: /usr/local/share/python is not needed in PATH.

So, in Python section, the following needs some revision:

Executable scripts from Python packages you install will be put in /usr/local/share/python, so let's add it to the $PATH. To do so, we'll create a .path text file in the home directory (I've already set up .bash_profile to call this file):

$ cd ~
$ subl .path
And add these lines to .path:

PATH=/usr/local/share/python:$PATH
export PATH
Save the file and open a new terminal to take the new $PATH into account (everytime you open a terminal, .bash_profile gets loaded).

I removed the following lines from under .path

PATH=/usr/local/share/python:$PATH
export PATH

Restarted terminal and no warnings were received.

@mukeshtiwari1987 this repo seems unmaintained, I usually go to its fork at https://github.com/jfrazelle/mac-dev-setup whenever I need to setup a new Mac or refer something in the configuration.

Thanks for pointing this out! I'm working on v2.0 of this doc (https://github.com/nicolashery/mac-dev-setup/tree/2.0), and will make sure to fix the Python section with your recommendation.

I pushed an update to this guide bffbe4b, and I now explain how to install Python via pyenv, so that should fix this issue.
