Python version issues

Hello,
python-config is linked to a non-existent file:
kester at unstable10s [unstable10s]:~ > ls -l /opt/csw/bin/python-config
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 27 Aug 10 2013 /opt/csw/bin/python-config -> /opt/csw/bin/python-config2
kester at unstable10s [unstable10s]:~ > ls -l /opt/csw/bin/python-config2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 29 Nov 3 2013 /opt/csw/bin/python-config2 -> /opt/csw/bin/python-config2.6
kester at unstable10s [unstable10s]:~ > ls -l /opt/csw/bin/python-config2.6
/opt/csw/bin/python-config2.6: No such file or directory
This should probably point to: /opt/csw/bin/python2.6-config
I have not raised a Mantis issue, as I am not sure where this is done
(Python package, alternatives, ?).
If I install CSWpython27 and remove CSWpython26 then the link is changed to:
/opt/csw/bin/python-config2 -> /opt/csw/bin/python-config2.7
which also does not exist.
It should probably point to: /opt/csw/bin/python2.7-config
I also noticed, if I install python 2.6 and python 2.7 at the same
time, the links remain pointing to 2.6, e. g.:
/opt/csw/bin/python2 -> python2.6
It is even worse: If I only have python 2.7 installed and the links set up to make
/opt/csw/bin/python2 point to python2.7 and the python2.6 package gets installed
as a dependency then link from /opt/csw/bin/python2 changes back to python2.6
which is not what I want.
On a related issue, in the gar files we have:
MODULATIONS_PYTHON_VERSION = 2_6 2_7
How much changes would it take to also add 3_3?
Regards
Kester
