Jeremy, what Joshua is dancing around with his questions is that python 2.6 and later use a drastically different layout (a framework layout) from python 2.5 and earlier. With python 2.6 and later, ports install their binaries in directories deep in the tree, and the portgroup provides the convenience of creating symlinks for them in ${prefix}/bin. With python 2.5 and earlier, the binaries are already installed in ${prefix}/bin to begin with.
