Have you tried eliminating /opt from the search path in setupext.py? If that does the trick, I think we may be stuck. The default search paths are trying to work for default python, python.org python, macports and homebrew, plus user-built libraries in /usr/local. I'm not convinced one file can do it all. Apple moving X from /usr/X11 to /opt/X11 did not help.
