python site-packages .pth handling

I wonder if this EasyInstall tip could or should be applied to python2.x ports?

Ignoring the homedir-based install stuff, setting up a system distutils.cfg could have value for software that makes assumptions (eg, prefix always contains lib/pythonXY); maybe something like

[install]
install_lib = ${frameworks_dir}/Python.framework/Versions/${python.branch}
install_scripts = ${frameworks_dir}/Python.framework/Versions/${python.branch}/bin/python${python.branch}

(replacing python.branch for each pythonXY port).
