 python26 was build with the universal method:
 {{{
 $ sudo port install python26 +universal
 --->  Computing dependencies for python26

 $ file /opt/local/bin/python2.6
 /opt/local/bin/python2.6: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures
 /opt/local/bin/python2.6 (for architecture x86_64):     Mach-O 64-bit
 executable x86_64
 /opt/local/bin/python2.6 (for architecture i386):       Mach-O executable
 i386
 }}}

 but still is 64-bits:
 {{{
 $ arch -i386 python
 Python 2.6.4 (r264:75706, Nov  4 2009, 18:31:32)
 [GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5646)] on darwin
 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> import sys; sys.maxint
 9223372036854775807
 }}}

 this "arch trick" works with Apple's python
 {{{
 enigma:~ lup$ arch -i386

 }}}

 this prevents me from loading 32-bits libraries using ctypes.
