Let me clear up some things here:

1) The python-unstable and python-nox-unstable were in Fink for a 
brief period of time, while Python 2.2 was in under development. 
Since it fixed some serious OS X related bugs, it was deemed 
necessary by the package maintainer to have these packages providing 
development version of python for those in dire need. Since the 
release of Python 2.2, they became obsolete and hence have been 
removed. That they still appear in your list of Packages, Nicholas, 
could be because you didn't yet update with "fink selfupdate-cvs" 
(though you seem to use Fink 0.9.9, which sort of contradictst this). 
If they still appear after that, it's likely that you copied them 
previously into your "local" tree. You can remove them from there 
again.


2) As to the packages reporting almost the same information: yes, 
this is true, but then again, before Fink 0.9.9 we didn't give any 
information besides the package names at all. We still have to clean 
up package descriptions to be more useful when you have to 
distinguish them in a choice selection. This is a volunteer project, 
so we can't do everything at once, so please bear with us.
