This is not a regression in 2.6, the python-32 executable has never been linked into /usr/local/bin. I agree that they should be as long as we fill /usr/local/bin, but that can wait until 2.6.6. I always add the framework to $PATH because distutils installs scripts into that location. It would be worthwhile to change that for 2.7 and 3.2: tweak distutils to ensure that site-packages and scripts get installed in /Library/Python/2.7/... and install (links to) the public executables there as well. That way the location of scripts and site-packages is easily found in the Finder, while keeping a versioned location. I don't want to tweak distutils to install into /usr/local because I have several python trees and those should stay separate.
