Don't. If you try to swap out the standard python with another one, expect almost everything you hold dear to break.

I want to build gstreamer sdk on centos by using cerbero, which is of python program and demands python 2.7. How to make centos 6.8 choose python 2.7 by default instead of python 2.6, so as to build gstreamer sdk?

Personally I'd think of this in a much more SCL style than thinking about changing the default python.

You don't need to make your whole system use a new python, just the new bits you're building that need it.
