Now that's quite a different error!  This seems well over my head.   
All I can think of to do at this point is:

  * ask which port xml2po belongs to (use "port provides /opt/local/ 
bin/xml2po" to find out);
  * ask which version of python you have installed; and
  * suggest that maybe (crosses fingers, screws up eyes) a  
reinstallation of python, or an installation of a newer version,  
might help, if you're willing to sit through it (though I doubt that  
very much).

Does anybody else have any better suggestions as to why Paul is  
getting this bug?

Kind regards,


Maun Suang
