You mean python installed by macports or manually by you?

I saw that workaround too, but it seems much of a hassle.

I read that the defaults should work, with the caveat of tools picking wrong versions from /usr/local/ at build time when using macports, which eventually could be circumvented in trace mode.

I was thinking of adding a different path for homebrew to link its binaries from, but I haven't checked the docs if it's possible.
