for, but it's some linux related framework.

In this case Qt is simply an acryonym for Quicktime, you'll see other
references in there, Qd == Quickdraw (another Apple technology)
As far as I can see the problem is due to the fact that the Quicktime API
will not be ported to 64bit, period. Apple has worked around this in their
own python versions by encasing all non-64bit related foo in #ifndef
__LP64__
I'll upload a patch to the port that makes it build for me, along with a
full diff of the macports python 2.5 headers against the apple python 2.5
headers.
python25 revision is arbitrarily set to 6.1 to minimize conflict between
my local overlay the official ports.
