When searching for a solution for my problem, all advice points towards just prepending my $PATH variable with the path to that version of Python, but that doesn't help.
Here's my .bash_profile:
PATH="/usr/local/mysql/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:~/bin"
export PATH="~/bin/python/anaconda:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH"
export PATH="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/lib/python3.4:$PATH"
PYTHONPATH="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/lib/python3.4:${PYTHONPATH}
$ which python
/usr/bin/python
>>> import sys
>>> for p in sys.path:
... print(p)
...
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/lib/python34.zip
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/lib/python3.4
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/lib/python3.4/plat-darwin
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/lib/python3.4/lib-dynload
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/lib/python3.4/site-packages

Almost all *nix systems like MacOSX, most Linux distributions, expect python to refer to Python 2; python3 to Python 3. If you change this, something might break badly. Thus even though the PEP 394 talks about the "default" python distribution for python, and that all Python 2 scripts would use python2 in shebang, it is not the fact yet. Many programs expect python to stand for python2.
Furthermore even in such a system you still should prefix your scripts with python3 and explicitly run your Python 3 programs with that command. Just prefix your scripts with something like
#!/usr/bin/env python3
and it should work.
If you are bugged about python 2.7 opening whenever you execute python, do an alias in your .bashrc:
alias python=python3
Also I am not sure if whatever you are doing with PYTHON_PATH is wise; the python interpreter will know where to look for its own libraries without this hackery.
