I agree in the case of a python "program". However, if the package just processses a bunch of scripts that don't care about what python you use then it seems a bit harsh to make people build a full python distro when the system-installed one will be fine. There are no binary files that link to libraries in this package--just shell scripts, python scripts, and text files. The last note on this package in the commits from the maintainer says "use system python" and the CompileScript explictly calls /usr/bin/python, so it clearly was a choice, and will build the same way on any Mac of the same OS version (if they change their python that's another matter, of course). If it was just built with "python", then there would be a problem. > > Not only that but it may need to load extra config files or settings that > will work best from the fink version over a vanilla person. > Possible, but I'm pretty sure the maintainer checked that out in this case, and he'll let you know in a couple of weeks.
