 I believe that's what we've done in other ports, so doing so here as well
 would be consistent with established practices. Adding a lib dependency on
 python25 to make this port's needs clear isn't a bad idea either.

 I have no objection to a general solution, and your PATH idea sounds like
 a plausible fix, but python ports are one area of MacPorts I am not
 experienced with, and I don't have time to work on this problem now
 either. If you have a general suggestion, ideally accompanied by a working
 patch for, say, the python portgroups, and can file that in a new ticket,
 or maybe bring the matter up for discussion on macports-dev first, that
 might help move this forward.
