First off, have you modified your PATH? Does `where python` report / 
opt/local/bin/python (MacPorts) or only /usr/bin/python (Apple)? If  
the latter, then you need to follow instructions at the MacPorts wiki  
[1] to make sure you run MacPorts' python.

Second, did the modules you want go to the right place? Does `ls /opt/ 
local/lib/python2.4/site-packages` list the gtk2 module?
