Samuel John a3a0146d7c Python module deps, ext. python fix and 10.6 fix
* Fixes Homebrew/homebrew#20572 by tweaking the logic that decides
  which python is used by the `python` object
  inside a formula. There was a bug when on 10.6
  there is no Python 2.7 but a :recommended
  Python was still treated as being available.

* Use the user's PATH when looking for an external
  Python. Until now only brewed or OS X system's
  python have been found by `depends_on :python`.

  But now we support any Python in PATH (e.g.
  pyenv's python).

* Further, instead of handling python modules
  and import tests in LanguageModuleDependency,
  these are now handled by:

        depends_on :python => 'numpy'  # for example

  The old style

        depends_on 'numpy' => :python

  is still supported and is only an alias
  for the newer style (only for :python, the
  other languages are not altered by this commit).

  The reasoning is that if a formula requires
  a python module, it basically also needs
  python itself - and further that specific
  version of python has to provide the module.
  So the `PythonInstalled` is the natural place
  to check for the availability of a python
  module.

  Using a python module and other tags like
  :optional or :recommended is done like so:

        depends_on :python => [:optional, 'numpy']

  Specifying another PyPi (Python Package index)
  name than the module import name is seldom used
  but supported, too:

         depends_on :python => ['enchant'=>'pyenchant']

  A last note: For clarity, you can define
  multiple depends_on statements with different
  modules to be importable.`
