 Last statement in {{{python_select python26}}} execution routine is:
 {{{
 ln -snf /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/Python
 \
         /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Python
 }}}

 Probably it's completely bad idea to link port against framework in
 current
 macports scheme (see http://trac.macports.org/ticket/21824#comment:4).

 It is better to link against specific libraries via -L and -l args.

 Currently I'm using system python26, macports python25 and macports
 python26, so
 I can't use python_select against one of them.
