that got me further, but then it failed again:

With a hint from Dan, I figured out that you have to use this command:

sudo port install -f py25-libxslt

that installs py25-libxml2 and libsxlt (you have to uninstall both  
before issuing it)

If you just install py25-limxml2 or py25-libsxlt, the libsxlt doesn't  
link in correctly,  you have to use the the force option.

I added the command that worked to the Install section of the wiki for  
MacOS.

thanks Dan and the group for the help.  now to start working on  
getting py2app working :-)
