Comment(by ryandesign@…):

 glib2 doesn't do much with python; it just needs to use python for a short
 while at build time, and it needs version 2.5 or later. Tiger ships with a
 version of python older than that, so on Tiger the glib2 port installs and
 uses python27. But it seemed silly to me to pull in the python27 port when
 the version of python included with Leopard and later should be
 sufficient.

 So the question is: why does /usr/bin/python not exist on your system?
 It's a standard part of OS X. Can you restore it from your backups, or
 reinstall OS X to get it back?
