For 2.7, the set of default installed packages for the OS installer was changed for some reason to no longer select the "UNIX command-line tools" package by default so the traditional symlinks in /usr/local/bin are not being created by default.  This is a change in behavior from previous installers and the installer README files were not updated to reflect this change.  Users are confused by this, see for example:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3266005/why-arent-the-python-2-7-command-line-tools-located-in-usr-local-bin-on-mac-o/

Suggest reverting the change in behavior so that the symlinks are again installed by default.
