Comment:

 Yes, only you can explain why that file, which should only be installed by
 the py27-setuptools port, already exists on your system. If you cannot
 explain it, you may be better off following the complete uninstall
 instructions in our guide, including removing /opt/local entirely, then
 reinstalling MacPorts and the ports you want. This will ensure that you
 don't have any unwanted files in your MacPorts prefix.

 Also, what `DYLD_` environment variables do you have set, and why? Often
 it is a mistake to set such variables.
