Comment(by 10.50 at free.fr):

 Got it. There is a QuickTime dependency in python25 (in the
 mactoolboxglue.[hc]) file and the QuickTime.h header states clearly that
 QT is not available to 64-bit clients.

 Thus, either one disables QuickTime support in python25 (which can seem
 reasonnable after all), or ports must duplicate py25-* to py26-* (which is
 mostly a minor rewrite of most modules) in order to retain compatibility
 with python 2 API and provide a 64-bit python binary.

 That's Leopard: one foot in 32, one foot in 64, and what's inbetween? ;)
