Comment(by mbrethen@…):

 If the intent is to have spyder run within a python framework, then I
 would say it's utter failure. Spyder's developer expects to find default
 python binaries in the user's path. The existing port, py26-spyder has no
 such patches and when installed will use whatever un-suffixed python
 binary (along with all the modules) it can find in PATH. If it does not
 find one, pylint for example, you get a message in spyder to install it.

 As such, py26-spyder, py27-spyder, etc. seem irrelevant. It makes more
 sense (to me anyway) to have a single port of spyder with a default python
 (using the port select function). Otherwise have fun sifting through all
 the python scripts trying figure out which ones to patch.
