That's the worst possible "solution" you could have applied.
The system is completely dependent on the version of python
supplied with it (2.4.3) and by replacing it with 2.6 you
have effectively broken large parts of it.
Why not just go with the version is EPEL that has been
previously recommended in this thread? It installs
side-by-side with the system supplied python and as such
doesn't break anything.
There is the added bonus that the EPEL supplied python will
actually get updated.
