As Bryan already pointed out, python_select itself does not depend on
any python version, so this dependency is not going to work. There is
currently no better way than picking a specific python version.
python_select does provide a "python" binary. It does this by using
pythonXY-apple, probably not a _good_ idea but it should "work"...
If you do pick a specific python version, then you need to patch out
"python" with "pythonX.Y" everywhere - which might be very tedious.
Perhaps tedious, but isn't it the only correct solution?
Imagine I want to use port foo which requires python 2.5, and I also
want to use port bar which requires python 2.4. If both ports use
"python" (or "${prefix}/bin/python") then one or the other will break
regardless of what I python_select, not to mention that as a user of
foo or bar I don't want to have to python_select anything; I just
want it to work out of the box.
