On second thought, are you sure that's how fullinstall is meant to work? If I use frameworkinstall I get the following message at the end: * Note: not installed as 'python'. * Use 'make fullinstall' to install as 'python'. * However, 'make fullinstall' is discouraged, * as it will clobber your Python 2.x installation. Doesn't that suggest that fullinstall would put the no-suffix symlinks in place? In other words, is there a reason that no-suffix links _are_ installed in the framework bin directory in fullinstall mode, but aren't installed in $PREFIX/bin?
