Description
I use the -mpkg with the port command to create binary installers that users without macports can then install. Previously they have been able to use python_select to choose between python versions. Now this has become a part of the port command they are unable to do this without installing macports. Can we please have python_select back?

Replying to ryandesign@…:
This would presumably affect all _select ports, not just python_select. But I don't see why we'd want to bring it back.
Is there some alternative that will work if the port command is used to build mpkg files? Or are you just saying that you don't much care and that everybody should have macports installed?

Was this ever addressed? I'd assume a solution might be to have a standalone script replacing port select around.
