Comment:

 Macports is designed to allow installations of Python (for example, 2.4
 and 2.7) to exist side-by-side without interfering with each other,
 including executables installed by modules like rbtools. All these
 executables get a suffix of the version of Python they use, except for
 Python 2.4 -- and that exception is only for backwards compatibility
 reasons. If you want "post-review" executable without a suffix, I suggest
 you create an executable symbolic link pointing at the version you want,
 and put that symbolic link on your path. For example, you can have a
 "local/bin" directory in your home directory, have a "post-review" symlink
 in that directory that points at /opt/local/bin/post-review-2.7, and put
 "~/local/bin" in your PATH environment variable.
