For compatibility with applications linked on older OS X releases, Apple 
customarily ships more than one version of Python frameworks with OS X.  
There are actually three versions of the system Python frameworks there: 
you should see that "Current" is actually a symbolic link to "2.7".  All 
of those versions are shipped as part of OS X 10.7.
