Comment(by jewart@…):

 Added two patch files for Python 2.5 to support the universal_archs
 setting in macports.conf. I had a bit of a row with this because the
 python port doesn't use autoconf, so I had to fix configure.in /
 Makefile.pre.in, and run autoconf, then diff the pre-existing configure
 script against the output from autoconf, as well as add support for the
 setting in the Makefile.pre.in. I'll try to add these changes to python26
 and python30 when I have time.

 To make this work, you need to build macports from source using the x86_64
 architecture and then add  "universal_archs     x86_64" to your
 macports.conf and add +universal to your variants.conf to make sure all
 your builds pick up the x86_64 settings.
