Unless your bin/python is actually 2.5 python.
I see two possible ways out:
1) patch a lot of python using ports to call ${PYTHON} instead of python
2) create a tool, that will set up PREFIX/bin/python to be a symlink or
a copy of a python2X binary the user desires to use at a moment,
prior the start of compilation. `use.perl port' equivalent, really.
Approach number one takes a lot of patching. Approach number two imposes
an administrative burden on end users.
We should pick on of these approaches, and commit to it.
Debate?
