FYI, FreeBSD ports has USE_PYTHON=concurrent for any ports that install
files that will conflict for different python versions.  This
automatically adds a python version to all installed files and a symlink
to the default python version.

From Mk/Uses/python.mk

#       concurrent      - Indicates that the port can be installed for
#                         different python versions at the same time.
The port
#                         is supposed to use a unique prefix for certain
#                         directories using USES=uniquefiles:dirs (see the
#                         uniquefiles.mk Uses for details about the
#                         directories), if set to yes. Binaries receive an
#                         additional suffix, based on ${PYTHON_VER}.
#
#                         The values for the uniquefiles USES are set as
#                         follows:
#
#                               UNIQUE_PREFIX=  ${PYTHON_PKGNAMEPREFIX}
#                               UNIQUE_SUFFIX=  -${PYTHON_VER}
#
#                         If the port is installed for the current default
#                         python version, scripts and binaries in
#
#                               ${PREFIX}/bin
#                               ${PREFIX}/sbin
#                               ${PREFIX}/libexec
#
#                         are linked from the prefixed version to the
#                         prefix-less original name, e.g.
#                         bin/foo-2.7 --> bin/foo.
