Can't install pythonbrew 2.6

Question

I'm trying to install python 2.6 with pythonbrew but i received some error while running the command

pythonbrew install --configure="--enable-unicode=ucs4" 2.6

I'm running under Archlinux and used python2.7 for a long time on that machine. But I need to have both 2.6 and 2.7 on my machine so a pythonbrew install seemed ok.

Here is the error :

Found the solution to this here. Basically the behaviour of svnversion changed at some point and the work around is to put a script named svnversion in your path while building python 2.6.2

#!/bin/sh
echo exported

While I don't know what causes this error, it is possible to work around this by using Python 2.6.8 instead:

pythonbrew install --configure="--enable-unicode=ucs4" 2.6.8
