The bundled python module is not broken, but it does not include a 64bit
version (only PPC and i386).

Bug #482993 in Inkscape:
“Inkscape extensions do not work on MacOS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard)”
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/482993>

was recently fixed. You can download a development snapshot (r9873 or
later) from <http://inkscape.modevia.com/macosx-snap/?C=M;O=D> or wait
for the soon-to-be-released Inkscape 0.48.1 which will include the fix
to make all python-based extensions (including your locally installed
ones in '~/.config/inkscape/extensions') also work with the pre-packaged
app from sf.net on Snow Leopard.


hth, ~suv


p.s. see my earlier message for a workaround to prevent inkscape
installed via MacPorts from crashing immediately or soon after startup:
