Comment (by felipou@…):

 First of all, thanks a LOT larryv!

 I just tested, and it's working great.

 Although there was a strange error log when I ran these commands:

 {{{
 $ sudo port -d select --set python3 python34
 DEBUG: Copying /Users/felipe/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dt.Xcode.plist
 to /opt/local/var/macports/home/Library/Preferences

 {{{
 $ sudo port -d select --set python3 python35
 DEBUG: Copying /Users/felipe/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dt.Xcode.plist

 "/opt/local/bin/python3-32": target "/opt/local/bin/python3.5-32" doesn't

 }}}

 As I said, it worked for me, I only wanted the /opt/local/bin/python3
 link, and it is correctly pointing to the chosen version. But maybe there
 is something broken that I didn't notice. If you want me to check
 anything, I'd be glad to help.

 Thanks again!
