Don't understand the 2006 reference other than as un un-updated reference
in a text file.  The package downloaded from the ubuntu repositories we are
all reporting as stating itself in the code and file names to be from
2012.02.27.

And finally, the file being executed is python code, not compiled.  Sounds
like you are running something later which is compiled python which has not
been accepted to the repositories yet.  Though it may be what you get from
whatever package you get/compile from git.  And, yes, that may well be the
real answer to the different experiences here.
