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 =) On May 22, 2006, at 12:02 AM, Joe Auty wrote:

The list suggests that the configure arguments reference the Python executables, not the lib directory.
