Please file a bug on the Ubuntu click package about this so that I don't
forget.  I think it would be best to add an API for this as part of the
libclick work.  In the meantime the following Python code or equivalent
should be safe (although please include a reference to any packages
where you've open-coded this in your bug report on click):

  def installed_frameworks():
      ext = ".framework"
      for name in os.listdir("/usr/share/click/frameworks"):
          if name.endswith(ext):
              yield name[:-len(ext)]
