I fixed this problem two different ways. I changed the /usr/bin/python
symlink to point at /opt/local...../python2.6. this was dumb of me.
I noticed on a `sudo port -d upgrade outdated` that there was a command
that you can install to twiddle the symlinks for you, and I believe it
was called python_select. I don't think it gets installed when you port
install python stuff, but it works like a charm.
Good luck!
