This is not fink or macports but my python.org install that I just 
built from scratch with the following commands:

$ ./configure --prefix=/opt/python/2.5.2 --enable-universalsdk --enable-framework=/opt/python/2.5.2/Framework
$ make; make install

$ export PATH=/opt/python/2.5.2/bin:$PATH
$ export PATH=/opt/python/2.5.2/Framework/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/bin:$PATH
# Second export because easy_install is not in bin but in Framework/bin

$ curl -O http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py
# make sure "python" and "easy_install" are from /opt/python/2.5.2/...
# Yes they are (thanks to PATH statements above)
$ python ez_setup.py -U setuptools
$ easy_install -U py2app

As far as I can tell I'm using python.org framework. I'd love to 
test macholib but right now that easy_install command gives the 
following error. I'll tray later and see if the server is up and 
post results back here.
