 > Just to be completely sure, there's no other location where a gcc or
 python could be found in your PATH before /opt/local/bin?

 AHH, gotcha, that was the hint I needed!! Indeed, the order individual
 directories were set up in PATH was different, so that /usr/bin/ was
 checked AFTER /opt/local/bin/. Why? Because I used .zshenv instead of
 .zprofile and for some reason .zshenv puts the included exports for PATH
 after those defined by the system, so PATH startet with
 /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/opt/X11/bin:/Library/Apple/usr/bin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin.
 I now switched back to use .zprofile and the PATH is set up correctly
 again with /opt/local/bin (etc.) in front! Thanks so much, I learned
 something today!! :)
