If you want to use this package as your default system python, as root
create symbolic links like so (overwriting any previous default):
 ln -sf /usr/local/bin/python2.6 /usr/local/bin/python
 ln -sf /usr/local/bin/python2.6-config /usr/local/bin/python-config
 ln -sf /usr/local/bin/pydoc2.6  /usr/local/bin/pydoc
