Two quick notes: 1) You don't usually need to be superuser to edit the
package description (".info") files. 2) python2.7 landed in fink a
week ago, I don't think anyone with the exception of the maintainer
himself has even had a chance to work on adding -py27 variants to
their pythonmod packages. We'd love the help!
