As our executables are /usr/bin/python{2,2.7}, I prefer something like

# Install the manual page
install -dm755 ${pkgdir}/usr/share/man/man1/
install -m644 Misc/python.man ${pkgdir}/usr/share/man/man1/python${_pybasever}.1
ln -sf python${_pybasever}.1 ${pkgdir}/usr/share/man/man1/python2.1

and similar for the python3 pkg.
