Python port problems

[Joe Auty]

This problem has been resolved, thanks to my new friend Alex Zbyslaw!

The problem was that my /usr/local/lib/python2.4 was set with perms  
754 rather than 755. I didn't realize that doing a port uninstall and  
reinstall doesn't necessarily correct permission problems on parent  
directories.

I hope this is useful to somebody else =)
