 I've been having some problems build some software against python27
 @2.7.5_0:

 This seems to be due to distutils reporting incorrectly the flags required
 to link against python. With @2.7.5_0:

 {{{
 Python 2.7.5 (default, May 24 2013, 11:10:07)
 [GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 4.2 (clang-425.0.28)] on darwin
 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> import distutils.sysconfig
 >>> conf = distutils.sysconfig.get_config_var
 >>> print (conf('LINKFORSHARED'))
 -u _PyMac_Error Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Python
 >>>
 }}}

 i.e. it looks like the path is incomplete. Whereas if I revert back to
 @2.7.3_1 I get what I would expect:

 {{{
 Python 2.7.3 (default, Nov 26 2012, 15:06:55)
 [GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple Clang 4.1 ((tags/Apple/clang-421.11.66))] on
 darwin
 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> import distutils.sysconfig
 >>> conf = distutils.sysconfig.get_config_var
 >>> print (conf('LINKFORSHARED'))
 -u _PyMac_Error

 >>>
 }}}
