You meant using a macports framework build or having both macports and  
python.org versions? The former and maybe the later (I never tried)  
you can fix installing python_select and selecting the right python  
version from its list.

So this simple command can save a lot of pain for new macports python  
users:

$ sudo -s
# port install python25 python_select
# python_select python25

(or python26)
