So what then is the 'python' splitoff for?
It basically contains /sw/bin/python which is a symlink to the real executable /sw/bin/pytonx.y. I cannot speak for Jeff, but this arrangement has so far allowed to have several versions of python to be installed at the same time without conflicts. This is one solution of the old (unsolvable!) problem of how to handle version-dependent parts of a package that have no version number in their name.
