 It did install, after a while. However, scite is very slow to open and I
 can't tell if it does much. The help function doesn't.

 Applet.app/Contents/Info.plist already exists and does not belong to a
 registered port.  Unable to activate port python26.

 include the stuff in /Applications/MacPorts (the

 guide covers all bits to remove] if you're curious).  If that's the case
 then you should be able to just {{{rm -rf "/Applications/MacPorts/Python
 2.6"}}} then do the activate again.
