Macports installs its ports into a separate root.  You need to ensure 
that the macports bin directory comes first on your shell search path;  
by default, it is /opt/local/bin.  Try something like this:

    export PATH=/opt/local/bin:$PATH

Otherwise, use an alias or an absolute path:

    /opt/local/bin/python
