I use recommended approach as below: 
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make && make altinstall

and  have base 2.6 came with CENTOS, 2.7 and 3.3 installed later
and working without problem. see below

[root at localhost etc]# which python3.3
/usr/local/bin/python3.3
[root at localhost etc]# which python2.7
/usr/local/bin/python2.7
[root at localhost etc]# which python
/usr/bin/python
