Darn, I was hoping you'd figure this out for us...

yup -- that should print to the "Console" app when it is run from the GUI.

however, that #! line is pointing to the macports (or fink?) install of 
python -- I"d keep this all native Mac unless you have a good reason not 
to.

This *may* be a bug (missing feature) in macholib that's been around a 
while. It was fixed in SVN a good while back:

I'd make sure you're using all FrameWork Python (the install from 
python.org) first, then, if you still get the error, update macholib as 
above.

Let us know how it goes -- we should get that macholib update officially 
released if it hasn't been already.
