 I've encountered questions from several users concerning Macports and
 python.   The default configuration seems not to install packages
 correctly.  That is, when you install a package (ie: ansible) from source,
 it ends up buried under the Python library and no pointers or otherwise
 are configured in /opt/local/bin.  I've not been able to figure out why
 this occurs, but I wonder if it would make sense to fix this.  I suspect
 it's the stock ENV or that certain variables need to be set up ahead of
 time (is this documented somewhere, i've not found it).

 I performed a test today, installing ansible from source and experienced
 the same effect.   I don't use python personally, so hence I'm asking
 about it here as it applies to a larger context.
