I had the same problem when I tried to use the MacPorts installation of 
python3 within blender2.5alpha0 (I pointed the PYTHONPATH to the 
respective MacPorts python3 folder). I figured out, that the blender 
binary is a 64bit one, but the libraries of the MacPorts python3 are 
32bit ones and these two don't fit together.

Then I found out, that -- as opposed to blender 2.4x -- blender 2.5 
comes with all the standard python library bundled. So I'm fine with the 
pure blender 2.5 for the testing.
