 Replying to [ticket:17475 macsforever2000@…]:
 > The swig python variant now seems to be based on python26. There needs
 to be a python25 variant.

 This was my doing in r42765.[[BR]]
 I thought (perhaps mistakenly) that the latest available python should be
 used.[[BR]]
 Adding a new variant would be easy enough
 {{{
 set bindings {
     python25      port:python25          python=${prefix}/bin/python2.5
     python26      port:python26          python=${prefix}/bin/python2.6
 }}}
 but making them conflict would not be pleasant.[[BR]]
 If indeed #15854 was correct and python_select poses no problem, then that
 seems to me to be to be a better solution[[BR]]
 if installing python26 is unacceptable.

 > The python26 port isn't even functional currently.
 If this is the case, please let the maintainers know.[[BR]]
 It is thought to be functional (although still missing many external
 packages).
