Configuring Python3 on MacOS Macports

[Forrest]

I'm new to Python and I'm trying to figure out why, for example, when I 
install aws-cli (from source) using Macports, it doesn't install 
properly vs /usr/bin/python that does the right thing and places the 
commands in proper places.   When I run "/opt/local/bin/python setup.py 
install" it ends up buried in directories under the Macports directory 
structure, which isn't usable.   Maybe I am missing some ENV variables?
