Python framework location and Python 3.0 conflict with 2.4

Hi,
This is to follow up on this commit:
http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/changeset/34702
We've discussed this briefly before on the list, but I'm of the mind that all
new Python frameworks must be installed in a separate directory from the Python
2.4 framework for several reasons:
1) There's a conflict on the
${prefix}/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions file.
2) I have a requirement that we have multiple framework Pythons installed at the
same time. With a deployment to a hundred Mac's or so running PyQt apps running
on 2.4, I need to maintain that environment.
It would be nice to have Python 3.0 with a framework build installed along side
2.4 so we can port our applications to Python 3.0 (which is source incompatible
with 2.x).
So I don't care really where the Python 3.0 framework gets installed, but its
base must not be ${prefix}/Library/Frameworks. A directory such as
${prefix}/Library/Frameworks/${name} would work for me.
Regards,
Blair
