The bash profile is a set of instructions that are run by the shell when the user logs in to bash. When the shell finds that command, it stops and calls it even if there is another version of the same command, with the same name, further down in the list. When you ask your shell to run a particular command or run an interpreter, python for example, the shell looks through the different directories listed in the PATH in order they’re presented above. /Library/Frameworks/amework/Versions/3.6/bin.
