 From the man page: "search: Search for an available port whose name  
matches a regular expression."  The port name "py-tkinter" does not  
match the regular expression "python", so "port search python" will  
not output "py-tkinter".

If what you're trying to do is produce a list of all ports whose  
name, category or description matches "python", the command would be

	port list | grep -i python

Hope this helps,
