Comment (by mcalhoun at macports.org):

 I agree that what I have proposed is a significant undertaking, but I
 think that in the long run it might make thinks easier.
 [[BR]]
 I have made these changes on my local build, and of the twenty or so
 packages which I have tested (which depend on python),
 most of them only required minor changes.
 [[BR]]
 This is a small sample, but it gives me some hope.

 I would argue having binaries install into
 ${prefix}/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/bin
 could actually be though of as a good thing.
 [[BR]]
 It makes conflicts easier to manage.
 [[BR]]
 py25-numpy, for example, now requires in post-destroot
 {{{
 move ${destroot}${prefix}/bin/f2py ${destroot}${prefix}/bin/f2py2.5
 }}}
 but, if installed in the framework directory, would only need
 {{{
 ln -s ${prefix}/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/bin/f2py
 ${destroot}${prefix}/bin/f2py2.5
 }}}
 The actual f2py binaries for the various version are safely separated.
