Replying to [comment:8 mleinart@…]:
You cannot install into
`${prefix}/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5`
as it is a symlink. While I did the framework transition, I decided to use
the old location for site-packages and symlink that into the framework.
Otherwise it would have required manual reinstallation of all py25-*
ports. Moving everything into the framework did also cause problems, for
example binaries being installed in the framework only and not available
in PATH without manual fixing.
