Okay. Check what "which python" and "which python2.6" do, and if
"which python2.7" is different. You may be able to manually recreate
your original /usr/bin/python (or whatever it is) from python2.6. That
would effectively undo the non-alt part of your install, and then you
can proceed to fix the actual installation. Hopefully.
