FYI, MacPorts Pythons are framework installations.  And I disagree that 
installing a bunch of disparate software from various sources via binary 
installers and/or source is to be preferred to a modern third-party 
package manager on OS X like MacPorts or Homebrew.  That's just setting 
yourself up for a long-term maintenance headache.  What could be easier 
than:

    sudo port install py27-game
