There are two issues that I know of for OS X. One is just getting a
python2 symlink into the bin directory of a framework build. That's
easy. The other is managing symlinks (python, python2, and python3)
across framework bin directories; currently there's no infrastructure
for that. That part will probably have to wait until PyCon.
