Comment(by raimue@…):

 Replying to [comment:5 milosh@…]:
 > python_select provides a unified path to a python version that should be
 working. The fact that a highly uncompatible version of python can be
 selected as the default python seems wrong to me.

 The assumption is wrong. python_select is for the user invoking python
 only, not for MacPorts itself. This port still does not use a specific
 python version, but it should.

 ${prefix}/bin/python2.6.

 > rubber does not need python to be provided by macports. It works well (I
 tested it) with the python provided by macosx 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5, but
 also with macports' python23, python24, python25 and python26. If you want
 to patch it that way, please provide variants for those 7 configurations.

 Per [wiki:FAQ#syslibs policy], we prefer our own libraries over the
 system. Supporting just python26 should be enough.
