True.

As it turns out, I learned how to re-write the python to be compatible with 3.x, and fixed the port that way. So that's probably the best outcome, and I'll submit that upstream for them to fix someday.

Although I'd still like to know how to adjust the $PATH, if you feel so inclined one day -- promise to use my powers for good and not for evil ...
