Thanks for the confirm, guys.  As an aside, I also tried what Ryan suggested (just to see if it is an external call depending on an environment variable), which resulted in this (instead of /usr/bin/python):

orpheus-eth:MacOS kytan$ sudo port -v select python python27
Selecting 'python27' for 'python' succeeded. 'python27' is now active.
orpheus-eth:MacOS kytan$ which python
/opt/local/bin/python
orpheus-eth:MacOS kytan$ python -V
Python 2.7.3

but it still crashes and the crash report indicates that it *STILL* references /System/Library/Frameworks/Python/... so I'm assuming it must be something buried inside the wireshark port rather than a dependency on an environment variable after all.

So, should I file a bug or have one of you already done so?
