At the moment you still need to install the python_select port for this
to work.

My plan will be to migrate everything to 'port select' and add that base
file to the dependencies of pythonXY, so in the future this will be more
user friendly. First I would have to check if 'port select' works with a
non default frameworks dir as we recently discovered bugs in
python_select, but I did not have time yet.
