$ sudo make frameworkinstall

But ... you're not done. There isn't an altframeworkinstall target so
you will be overwriting your default python binary. 

I suggest that an altframeworkinstall target should be added.

"make frameworkinstall" should be deprecated anyway, AFAIK it should be 
possible to use "make install" or "make altinstall" for framework 
installs as well. That latter should make it possible to install 
multiple versions of python side-by-side without interference beyond the 
"Current" link inside the framework.

A patch to fix that last issue would be welcome ;-)

BTW. The above comment is for python 2.x, I haven't checked the 
makefiles for python 3.x yet beyond trying to get a framework build to 
work at all (commited a patch for that earlier today).

Closing as won't fix because you can use "make altinstall".
