This is, I believe, a common problem with some python ports that really need 
to be installed in PYTHON_SITELIBDIR. It's hard to make them respect 
nonstandard pefixes, unless you do something like putting a .pth file in 
PYTHON_SITELIBDIR that points to the actual location (and so provides a path 
for python). IMO that only makes things worse, because then the port installs 
something in a completely different place from the nonstandard prefix.

You're using a non-i386 box, right? This is due to a bug in btcontrol.c. I 
forgot to include <sys/param.h>. I just uploaded a new tarball alpha2 (note 
that the port changed as well).

Thanks very much for testing!
