There could be some ports which do in fact need a version selected as the
Current version setting for the framework
(${prefix}/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Version/Current and the
symlinks in just Python.framework/) are used when linking to it.
Thought I believe it's been suggested before that the first python port
installed should probably be automatically python_select'd...
