It fails iff there's a symlink python -> python2.5 in /usr/local/bin.
You have such a symlink, I usually don't (but I just tried with it,
after I noticed that configure looks for python).

NB: this is *one* reason I think tools like autoconf create more
problems than they attempt to solve.

I'll change the port so that it

a) always detects ${MODPY_BIN} at configure time and uses it at build
   time,

b) doesn't fail when linked.
