Hi,
I need to be able to have both (2.7 and 3.2) modules.
setting PYTHON_VERSION=3.2 in /etc/make.conf compiles properly,
but make install, insists that that the 2.7 version is installed!
after deinstalling, it will install the 3.2 version in the correct directory:
	/usr/local/lib/python3.2/site-path
but now I lost the 2.7 version.

the same happens if I try to install the 2.7 version, it will complain
that the 3,2 version is installed.

BTW, the comments in ports/Mk/bsd.python.mk are very confusing and
some are wrong:
# PYTHON_VERSION        - Version of the python binary in your ${PATH}, in the
#                                         format "python2.0". Set this in your 
makefile in case you
#                                         want to build extensions with an 
older binary.
#                                         default: depends on the version of 
your python binary

setting it to "python3.2" produces errors in the make, while 3.2 is ok

is there any fix?

thanks,
	danny
