My explanation seems to be bad, I meant to say sharing extensions across
different builds of the same Python version. One might install a normal
unix build in /opt/python and a framework build in /Library/Frameworks.

This is not as important now as it was when Python 2.3.x was state of  
the
art, then you could have a python 2.3.x framework both in
/System/Library/Frameworks (provided by Apple) and in /Library/ 
Frameworks
(build yourself or downloaded the official MacPython binaries). Those  
would
share the same site-packages directory (/Library/Python/2.3).
