(I also altinstalled 3.3 built straight from Mercurial, which is approximately as new a Python as one can have, but that doesn't count.) There's a few differences between 2.6 and 2.7; not usually enough to be concerned about in daily use, but when dealing with weird issues, it helps to have the latest release.
