s3cmd with MacPorts

I ran into a string of errors while trying to run s3cmd with MacPorts python.

/opt/local/bin/s3cmd uses ParameterError before importing it. I moved the imports out of the try/except block to get this working:

if __name__ == '__main__':

	from S3 import PkgInfo
	from S3.S3 import *
	from S3.Config import Config
	from S3.S3Uri import *
	from S3 import Utils
	from S3.Exceptions import *
	from S3.Utils import unicodise
	from S3.Progress import Progress
	from S3.CloudFront import Cmd as CfCmd

	try:

		main()
		sys.exit(0)

	except ParameterError, e:
		error(u"Parameter problem: %s" % e)
		sys.exit(1)

Next, the command died while trying to import _md5. The Python 2.5 port does not include hashlib, which defines _md5. You can install it yourself like so:
sudo port install py25-hashlib

Lastly, while running s3cmd --configure and testing my connection with the HTTPS option, I got this warning:
WARNING: Retrying failed request: /?delimiter=/ ('module' object has no attribute 'ssl')

This feature depends on another port, which can be installed with:
sudo port install py25-socket-ssl
