Assuming that you want to use this Python in another recipe, you'll  
also need to add the option:

   executable = ${buildout:parts-directory}/python/bin/python

The cmmi recipe is to general to generate this option automatically.   
It would be easy and nice to generate a python recipe that extended  
the basic cmmi recipe to compute the executable option.
