That's not that log file; that's a copy/paste out of your Terminal. We would need to see the contents of the file /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_lang_python26/main.log to know why python26 failed to install.

Since python26 now apparently installed ok, the log of the problem has already been overwritten, and then deleted (unless you use "keep_logs yes" in your macports.conf).
