Comment (by ryandesign@…):

 I agree, `easy_install` does not get symlinked. That should probably be
 fixed.

 As to the other problem you mentioned, I have never heard of that before
 and cannot reproduce it:

 {{{
 $ sudo port select --set python python27
 Selecting 'python27' for 'python' succeeded. 'python27' is now active.
 $ ls -l /opt/local/bin/py{doc,thon,thon-config,thonw}
