Agree with Gabriel. If you're writing a quick script or something and don't really care what Python version you're using because you're not doing anything requiring new features, using the system Python is fine.
Otherwise, install the Python you actually want, separately. That way it has its own paths to install the stdlib (and 3rd-party packages, but you shouldn't install those globally...) and can't mess up OS-shipped Python scripts.
