Thanks.

I have added fail2ban to "PortGroup     python26 1.0".

This doesn't seem to create a dependency on python, at least I don't  
see python in "port installed".

I'm guessing since I didn't add a dependency on python26 ports used  
Apples python to build and that might be the cause of filesystem  
violations.

Looks like fail2ban needs nothing other then python.

Do I need to a depends_lib port:python26?

Looks like PortGroup is taking care of the build commands for me so I  
like that but I didn't see where I can use just "PortGroup python 1.0"  
rather then "PortGroup     python26 1.0".
I would rather use whatever python the user already has installed. Is  
there an EASY way to do that with python?
