Comment(by mcalhoun at macports.org):

 Thanks for the reply.

 >  * Why is libpython${branch}.dylib removed?
 The only reason is that if another port is using the python framework
 installation correctly then it is not needed.

 >  * What happens to ${destroot}${prefix}/bin? It should only contain
 binaries with the branch suffix.
 With this configuration, only versioned binary files are installed into
 ${destroot}${prefix}/bin.[[BR]]
 The python installation does this automatically.[[BR]]
 Non versioned binaries are located in
 ${frameworks_dir}/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin, which do not conflict
 with anything.

 >  * Why did you remove --disable-tk? Doesn't that pull in a `depends_lib
 port:tk`?
 --disable-tk is not recognized by the python configure script.[[BR]]
 Further, I can find no mention of tk.[[BR]]
 I believe this is an artifact from earlier python versions.

 >  * Not sure about the --without-readline flag, but usually readline was
 provided as a separate port py*-readline until now. Is this going to
 conflict now?
 --without-readline is not recognized by the python configure script.[[BR]]
 The configure does in fact check for how to link readline, but I can find
 no way of turning it off.[[BR]]
 There does not seem to be a problem (perhaps because one of the patchfiles
 includes readline in the disabled_module_list).
