Lots of Python issues on Leopard

I've used Python (and Django) on MacPorts on Tiger for a long time.  I
recently got a new machine at work and installed MacPorts on Leopard
using the 1.5 version for 10.5.

The installs went ok (except for py-mysql but I worked around it and
posted a comment on the bug).

Now I'm seeing strange errors in a few places.  I randomly get "Bus
error" errors that terminate Python.  I'm not sure why and there
doesn't seem to be a pattern.  Sometimes something simple like "import
sys" will throw a Bus error.  I've even gotten one by doing "print a"
where "a = [1,2,3]".

Has anyone else noticed issues with Python on Leopard?
