(Had some problems with macports and virtualenv, I want to leave the system one alone and theres no 64 bit python.org build). Just in case any one else tries this - there is a problem where it's impossible to select the 32 bit architecture: http://bugs.python.org/issue6834 It might be possible to work around or use the alternative pythonw.c in the ticket - but it won't be fixed in a release until 2.7.
