default python on osx lion

Problem is that default command python is used by osx python. That means for example if you install py-pil from macports, osx python won't find this module. after python27 installed with macports, I have command called python-2.7 available. Earlier there was utility called python_select now it's completely gone in a vain, look:

Romans-MacBook:~ holms$ ls /opt/local/bin/python*
/opt/local/bin/python2.7    /opt/local/bin/python2.7-config /opt/local/bin/pythonw2.7

Romans-MacBook:~ holms$ sudo port -v install python_select
--->  Cleaning python_select
--->  Removing work directory for python_select

I even tried to remove macports completely from system and reinstalled everything, still the same result, python_select is gone in a vain. If anybody could confirm this by trying to download macports and install python27 and use python_select it would be great. because I need to write some compability for osx for some software... and it would be great to know what's the situation with python_select in osx lion.

So there would be two questions:

  1. where is python_select in lion
  2. how to make default python command to use macport python and not osx one.

MacPorts removed the python_select functionality, use port select instead.
