Python port from the latest ports tree.
>Description:
The python port installs python, but doesn't do
ln -sf ${LOCALBASE}/bin/python ${LOCALBASE}/bin/python2
This is extremely useful to have -- a lot of scripts out there (especially
from linuxland) depend on #!/usr/bin/env python2 (since "python" may or may
not be python1.5).
>How-To-Repeat:
Install the python port.
>Fix:
ln -sf ${LOCALBASE}/bin/python ${LOCALBASE}/bin/python2
somewhere in the post-install stage.
