If the file is in /usr/local/bin/, then that means you will have installed it yourself manually, not via an rpm. The rpm pre-condition is requiring that there is some rpm which provides the file /usr/local/bin/python2.6, not that the file exists on the system. So, if you're going to build an rpm and work that way, you have to make sure all the pre-requisites are also packaged the same way. In that fashion, dependencies can be tracked appropriately (for example, you won't be able to remove the rpm providing python2.6 without first removing the django rpm, since the latter depends on the former).
