 My first problem with macports involves a fetch problem. (see error
 below).

 The python web site was up and available.

 I worked around this by downloading the tar.bz2 file to
 /opt/local/var/macports/sources/local/

 and adding

 file:///opt/local/var/macports/sources/local/ to

 /opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf

 However, I'd like to understand what was going wrong.

 Thanks!
