[Pythonmac-SIG] Is there a run-time way to tell if you're running fink, macports, etc?

Hi all,

sys.platform returns "darwin" for all of the various python builds on 
OS-X. I"d like to know if I"m running a framework build, or fink, or 
macports, or whatever build -- is there a runtime way to do that?

Is looking at sys.executable the best(only?) way?

-Chris
