The only difference I can see so far is 7.0-release-*
vs. a recent 7-stable.  Maybe that's the culprit.
Unfortunately I don't have a 7.0-release-* machine
available for testing.  Are you able to update your
machine to 7-stable?

I have rebuilt the python25 port on my box and placed
the output here:

You could try to do the same, maybe diff(1) reveals
something.  Might be worth a try.

Best regards
