The resource definitions depend on zmq-macports which depends on python 2.7. If you try to use the Python 2.6 that comes with Snow Leopard, the configurator will fail. Even worse, there is an implicit dependency on the macports install of Python 2.7. If you use a Python 2.7 installed another way, it won't work.

We need to either make zeromq work with any python install or find a way to make the error message more specific.
