Let's take this to -core (especially as it's a fait accompli at this
point :-) ).

Should we add %p/Library to the list of legal directories within the
Fink file hierarchy, for packages that build against the system's
toolkits?  (I could envision %p/Library/Python, %p/Library/Tcl, ...)

I see no problems with setting PYTHONPATH within a wrapper script for
an executable, so such packages use that location for their scripts
shouldn't be a problem.

I'm a bit concerned about having to set PYTHONPATH globally, however,
though it seems like there aren't any good alternatives.  This doesn't
produce any interference with Fink's python packages?
