Right. Python scripts should really use #!/usr/bin/pythonX.Y (Actually, I've just noticed that /usr/bin/pkg calls /usr/bin/python. I'll file a bug.) Having a /usr/bin/python symlink is useful mostly for people to find python on the system and for simple scripts that work with just about any version.
