You were correct! I've added PATH=${PATH}:%%PREFIX%%/bin to the sample
file (where %%PREIFX%% obviously gets mangled). It works great now. I
must admit I can see a situation where somebody might install my port in
a weird PREFIX and then it still won't find python (if it's installed in
the default, /usr/local) -- but I really can't see any way to handle
that nicely.
Thanks for the help, I'm hopefully going to submit this port soon --
I've only been working on it a few months!
