question to OP: what is it you have there in your home directory and would
renaming the binary work for distinction?
~/bin/python2.6, ~/bin/python-frobtweaks

looks like a good measure to me, to just avoid naming collisions if you run
into problems. technically, you don't even need to prepend PATH to break your
python2 searchpath, since a custom-built binary in /usr/local/bin would already
achieve that.

cheers!
