 I installed python27 from source on 10.8 just the other day and did not
 encounter this problem.

 Given that this is literally the only ticket that has been filed, I have
 to conclude that MacPorts users are, by and large, not encountering this.
 I can only speculate as to why.

 > Maybe the fix can be backported to 2.7.5?

 I suppose it wouldn’t hurt to apply the fix ourselves until 2.7.6 is out.
 Can you try the following?
 {{{
 % sudo port clean python27
 % curl https://trac.macports.org/raw-attachment/ticket/39270/skip-Build-
 Applet.patch | patch -d $(port dir python27) -p5
 % sudo port install python27
 }}}
