I navigated old packages in packages.ubuntu.com and found an old version which I downloaded, extracted the contents in a local directory and place Levenshtein.so in /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/. I created a symlink in /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ and have it now working.
Nevertheless, it would be great if python-levenshtein for python2.6 install the appropriate so where it belongs.
