Comment:

 I original filled #15854 and the contents of the swig python variant is
 independent of the python specified. I have been using swig with this
 patch applied for several months now with no ill effects, py25-scipy
 builds without issue. I have tested building py25-scipy against the swig
 python variant depending on python_select with specifying a python version
 using python_select and it builds without issue. Therefore I cannot see
 why python_select can't be used as the dependency for the python variant.

 However a post-activate hook should probably be added to python_select to
 recommend the installation of a python port, probably python25 at the
 moment (well at least until python26 is more mature).
