I'm wanting to use some newer software that requires Python 2.6, and we currently have both 2.4 and 2.6 installed on our dedicated CentOS server, which looks like this:
$ which python /usr/local/bin/python $ which python2.6 /usr/bin/python2.6 $ which python2.4 /usr/local/bin/python2.4 $ ls -l /usr/local/bin/py* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 81 Aug 9 2007 /usr/local/bin/pydoc -rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 3394082 Aug 9 2007 /usr/local/bin/python -rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 3394082 Aug 9 2007 /usr/local/bin/python2.4 How can I switch it to start using 2.6 as the default python?

From here navigate to the Advanced Tab -> Click on Environment Variables. You will see a top half for the user variables and the bottom half for System variables. Check the System Variables and double-click on the Path (to edit the Path). Check for the path of Python(which you wish to run i.e. Python 2.
As root:
ln -sf /usr/bin/python2.6 /usr/local/bin/python This will make a symbolic link from /usr/local/bin/python --> /usr/bin/python2.6 (replacing the old hardlink).
