Be aware that the framework version of Python will make the symbolic
link /usr/local/bin/python2.6 to point to its own executable. If you
are sure that you do not need ActiveState's Python, delete the
directory /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/ and delete
/usr/local/bin/python and /usr/local/bin/python2.6 and re-install your
version into /usr/local again.

However, I do recommend using a framework build of Python in order to
be the most compatible with everything. In that case, delete the
things above and also delete the Python files from /usr/local/ and
build your Python using --enable-framework.
