execfile() no long exists in Python 3 so chances are you are trying to 
run a Python 3 program with Python 2.  Try running the script explicitly 
under Python 2:

  python2.6 p4convert-cvs.py

You may have inadvertently done a "make install" with Python 3.2 that 
has created a link from "python" to "python3.2".  Later versions of 
Python 3 are a little more careful about reserving "python" for Python 2 
and "python3" for Python 3, although some distributions (notably Arch 
Linux) do it differently.
