Each version of Python has its own site-packages folder, so you'll need to reinstall them. For pure python libraries like django, you can just reinstall the version you already have. For wrapped c and c++ libraries (like wxPython and mod_python), you need to download python 2.6 versions. I don't think mod_python has a 2.6 binary out yet, so you'll have to either compile from source or wait for the next release if you want to upgrade python.
