Besides, mingling different installations together makes uninstalling much more difficult. Not for a distro I think. It does. On BSD the ports and packages are referred to a specific location in the ports tree, e.g. ports/lang/python26, so any Python 2.6 compiled and installed from ports with specific options will always point to this location. So if you want to install 2 versions of Python 2.6 with different options, you are out of luck using the standard way.

Do any BSD distros provide multiple different builds of Python to their users? How do they handle having a debug build or non-debug build?
