Yes, it's just a matter of packaging. I'd bet though that wxcocoa
assumes that python is always a framework on OS X and only looks
there. It'll probably need patching.

Now there is another difference between fink's and system python; the
system's uses system tcltk which uses cocoa while fink's uses fink's
tcltk which uses x11. I don't know if that's an issue.

In any case, changing our python packages would require changing all
packages that link to them. That's a lot more work than fixing one
package. :)
