Can I upgrade to Python 2.6?

[TinkerMan]

I have run across two extra software packages in the last month that I would like to install that would require me to have version 2.6 of Python.  I was wondering if I upgrade if I would break anything that relies specifically on version 2.5 of Python?

Thanks, TinkerMan

Nothing comes to mind, but let use know if you do
