Darwin Ports puts stuff in it's own location as well.

You _should_ be able to set the PYTHONPATH enviromental variable to include
where DP puts stuff (in this case: /opt/local/lib/python2.2/site-packages/).

If you want to explicitly tell it, call setup.py like so:

python setup.py --prefix /usr/something/somewhere
