Patch for media-gfx/blender-2.49b-r2.ebuild

If /usr/bin/python points to a python3 instance, this ebuild fails to build. A fix is attached. (The patch also does a small cosmetic change, see #409673 for details.)

(2.5 is about to get removed from tree so I've forced 2.6)

For reporter: 
It's recommended to always call 'python_pkg_setup' after setting the active version.
