I don't know about ports or macport, but Debian has recently switched to a different policy for python packages which does not involve as many Python version specific copies of things. You might want to look at "python-central" and stdeb.
The version-specific copies are still there in the latest Debian practices. That's a necessary artefact of the per-version site-packages of Python.
What has changed is that the tools in common use for Debian packaging of Python libraries have taken on the role of generating those per-version copies at install time.
This means that, for pure-Python libraries, the source package need only contain a version-independent source and a declaration of which Python versions it should be installed for. The installation tool will take care of making the per-version copies in various places.
Maybe. I'm no expert on Debian packaging. However,

You are missing an inspection of the contents of the actual package
file. The package file itself contains only a single copy of the
Python module (at /usr/share/pycentral/site-packages/sqlite/main.py).
What you see there on your filesystem was created at install time; the
installation tool figures out, at install time, which Python versions
need to be supported on this particular system, and creates those
symlinks.
Thus, the change that's occurred is that the user doesn't need to
choose between "Python SQLite library for Python 2.4" and "Python
SQLite library for Python 2.5".
There is no longer a separation at the package level by Python
version, so the user merely needs to choose (given your example) the
single "Python SQLite library", and the install process takes care of
setting it up for all supported versions of Python on the system.

Thanks everyone for details.

for my purpose.

Hi list,
I'm trying to build a package for python modules.
When I just wanted to have a package for Python2.5, this is an easy task,
but in most cases, it's not enough.
Sometimes I need python2.4, 2.5, 2.6 or 3.0 etc.
The problem is coming from the fact that python installs its modules
into version-independent place as follow.
