After installing 2.6.5-1:

    $ python -V
    sh: /usr/bin/python: Permission denied

    $ /usr/bin/python2.6.exe -V
    sh: /usr/bin/python2.6.exe: Permission denied

    $ ls -la /usr/bin/python*
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 jaalto root   13 Jun  3 09:42 /usr/bin/python -> python2.6.exe
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 jaalto root   16 Jun  3 09:42 /usr/bin/python-config -> python2.6-config
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 jaalto root 1419 Apr 27 15:29 /usr/bin/python2.6-config
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 jaalto root 6670 Apr 27 15:29 /usr/bin/python2.6.exe

    $ file /usr/bin/python2.6.exe
    /usr/bin/python2.6.exe: PE32 executable for MS Windows (console) Intel 80386 32-bit

    $ echo $CYGWIN
    <empty>

    [in setup.exe release dir]
    -rwxr-xr-x  1 jaalto root 5228317 Jun  3 09:42 python-2.6.5-1.tar.bz2

If I return to 2.5.5-1, everything works ok. Let me know what should I
check.

    $ python -V
    Python 2.5.5

    $ ls -la /usr/bin/python*
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 jaalto root   13 Jun  3 10:13 /usr/bin/python -> python2.5.exe
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 jaalto root   16 Jun  3 10:13 /usr/bin/python-config -> python2.5-config
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 jaalto root 1419 Mar 15 06:48 /usr/bin/python2.5-config
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 jaalto root 6670 Mar 15 06:48 /usr/bin/python2.5.exe
