2.6 hasn't been officially released yet, but I just tried it works fine here.
If you got it from github try, 'git pull' to get the latest updates.

If the error keeps popping up you can report it here: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues
Or you can try going back to electrum 2.5.4

Hello,

I'm getting this error after installing the last electrum 2.6 version for Ubuntu (previous version was working perfectly). Any pointers? Note the import name error at the end... :-(

Code:
Using /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
Finished processing dependencies for Electrum==2.6
waingro@ubuntu:~/electrum$ ./electrum

Yeah when you see it in "RELEASE-NOTES" on github it's easy to think that there is a new final release out, because that's how most repos do it and typically put "beta", "b", "release candidate", or "rc" where it's unfinished..

I also watch Electrum GIT and wait for new versions. They added some key-store device support yesterday..

EDIT: You have to build it under Linux for Windows using Wine because some of the tools have no NT/cygwin builds.

improved coin selection to help preserve user privacy.  This is an
   experimental feature.  Enable it by setting the Coin Selection
   preference to Privacy.

It's normal , it's like this most of the time . Changelog have always higher versions then the one available for download because it's unfinished .
You still can compile the wallet your self though and test it .

Probably because the new version is still under development and testing and isn't stable enough for general release.
