Kris, I just did a fresh cvsup to make sure where I was, I tossed out all
of what I had, and rebuilt; it builds just fine.  The problem is NOT
withthe binary, it's with the library.

How to duplicate?

cd /usr/ports/lang/python && make install
cd /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/py-gtk && make install

Then, do an

import sys, pygtk
pygtk.require('2.0')
import gtk

inside python, that ought to get  you an exception, one that looks like:

july:chuckr:~/pygtk:#110>./Video.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./Video.py", line 5, in ?
    pygtk.require('2.0')
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pygtk.py", line 47, in
require
    versions = _get_available_versions()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pygtk.py", line 34, in
_get_available_versions
    for filename in os.listdir(dir):
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:
'/usr/local/lib/python24.zip'

I can't locate where any reference to file python24.zip is coming from,
but the file doesn't exist.  If I 'touch' it, then it merely moves the
location of the problem along to the next one I need in my app.  Something
is wrong, badly wrong, with the site-packages mechanism, and that means
that FreeBSD itself is fine, and in my own opinion, the python binary is
fine also.
