I finally see ! So these were my last steps :

$ sudo sh setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg
$ sudo easy_install -m setuptools

sudo rm /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/setuptools.pth
sudo rm /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/easy_install
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/easy_install-2.7

in a few words, I removed all the stuff installed in the first step 
(and that apperead in the stdout)....is it all right now ? In the 
future i will only use the python-packages built with macports (i.e. 
py27-numpy). I asked help because I was very confused with all that 
stuff....thx very much for replying me so soon.
