Ned Deily added the comment:

That behavior of the OS X installer is by design. Currently, the "Current" link 
is only set for Python 2 installations, not Python 3 ones.  While that may have 
made sense in the early days of Python 3 (assuming there would be mixed 
installations of both Python 3 and Python 2 to the same framework), that is 
probably no longer a good idea.  Considering the difference between Python 2 
and 3 at the API level and that one of the reasons for installing as a 
framework should be to simplify linking with Python libraries, I've been 
thinking that it might be a good idea to have Python 3 install in its own 
framework, say Python3.  Or some other arrangement.  As it stands today, 'cc 
... -framework Python ...' isn't usable for Python 3 out of the box.
