Can't import GDAL into Python (2.5 or 2.6)

[JP Glutting]

Which is odd, because I have a gdal.py file (and an osgeo directory) in my /opt/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages directory. But nothing else. I imagine they were supposed to have been installed in 

/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages
