I think everything else is irrelevant, and this is the only part that
matters. Why are there two distinct builds of Python 2.6, accessed via
the exact same path? What's going on here?

(Also, Python 2.6 is quite quite old by now. One of them was built in
2012 and hasn't been updated since. Any chance of installing something
newer?)
