Yes, because we support multiple python versions concurrently.  But as I
said, you can install the "python" package, which provides a "python"
command that points to one of those installed versions--since python2.7
is the highest-versioned one, that gets installed by default, e.g.:

$ fink dumpinfo -fallversions python
Scanning package description files..........
Information about 9861 packages read in 2 seconds.
allversions:
 b      1:2.5.5-103
 b      1:2.6.6-1
 b      1:2.7-101
 bi     1:2.7.1-1

So "fink install python" makes a "python" command that points to
python2.7 .  Using "fink install python-1:2.5.5-103" would make a
"python" that points to python2.5, etc.

Using "#!/sw/bin/python2.7" in your scripts is still probably a good
idea, though.
