Comment(by josharian@…):

 > What's the result from running {{{port -v installed python27}}}?  The
 decimal.py doctest works fine for me on 10.6.8, 64bit, no +universal...

 {{{
 $ port -v installed python27
 The following ports are currently installed:
   python27 @2.7.1_3 platform='darwin 10' archs='x86_64'
   python27 @2.7.2_1 (active) platform='darwin 10' archs='x86_64'
 }}}

 I am indeed using Xcode 4; that could definitely be it. Apple's made a
 *bunch* of compiler changes recently -- clang front-end, LLVM backend,
 etc.

 I also have the gcc port installed (gcc44 @4.4.6_0+universal). If there's
 a good way to do so, I'd be happy to try reinstalling the Python port with
 different compilers, to try to narrow it down. Any pointers?


 > Also FYI, Cc (and assigned) need full email addresses (use {{{port info
 <portname>}}}).

 Oops! Thanks. I just saw jwa in the Portfile and hoped that was enough. :)
