I just noticed while doing a 'make index' that I got a couple of
'python: not found' messages.  The culprits turned out to be the
math/numpy and misc/py-distutils ports.  Make sure the python port
is not installed or at the very least not in your PATH and type
'make describe' in either one of these ports and you'll see what
I mean.

One way of fixing this would be to use something like the following
patch.

However, this doesn't work very well besides being hackish.  The port
really needs to be fixing up PLIST when we are absolutely positive that
python will be around - like in the do-build target.  Though not very
pretty here is one way of going about it.

The math/numpy port will be a bit trickier to fix and is left as an
exercise for the reader. :)
