Adding the following to your .profile/.bash_profile should correctly
pick up whatever version of python is set by port select (be sure it's
after /opt/local/bin is added to your PATH):

    PATH="$(python-config --exec-prefix)/bin:${PATH}"

This has the added benefit that if port select for python is none it
will fall though to the Python.org build, then the Apple supplied build.
