$which python
/usr/bin/python
$file /usr/bin/python
/usr/bin/python: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures ...

I tried to use which python | file but it won't work.

There are more than one way to do this. Off the top of my head here are a couple:

1. file $(which python)
2. which python | xargs file
