Comment(by casbon at gmail.com):

 It's worth mentioning that this split creates problems if you use 'python
 -S'.

 From the manpage:
 {{{
        -S     Disable  the import of the module site and the site-
 dependent manipulations of sys.path that it
               entails.
 }}}

 So if you have software that invokes itself through 'python -S' it will
 not get any modules outside of the built python distribution.  The times I
 have seen this, it is to prevent picking up any local customisations.
 Unfortunately, if the software uses hashlib which it is fair to assume
 *should* be there, it will fail, and there is no way of fixing it using
 macports.   You have to manually copy the hashlib module from where
 macports puts it to where python expects it.

 -1 for this split.  Keep it as it's shipped.
