I want to have the same versions & packages to avoid compatibility issues.
I can put Python2.7 in a different directory and leave 2.6 there but I

to be the default one.
For the purposes you actually mean, the python.org install does become
the default one -- you can install it so that it comes earlier on your
path (and I believe even this step is automated). In this case, all
packages installed at the command line (or by binary installers) are in
place for this build. I have not found an advantage to the fink or
macports installs in the last few versions of Python versions.
But it's crucial to leave the Apple-installed build exactly where it is,
as it is used by the system.
