The problem is in the portfile, which wants to use Python 2.5. However, there is no OpenSSL package for Python 2.5 in MacPorts, which gives you this error if you try to backup to S3 through SSL:

File "/opt/local/lib/python2.5/httplib.py", line 1135, in connect
ssl = socket.ssl(sock, self.key_file, self.cert_file)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'ssl'

The solution is to edit the Portfile (which lives in /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/sysutils/duplicity/Portfile on my machine) and change “python25″ in “python24″ and halfway through the file change the py25-* packages in py-* packages. Then install the port. That fixes it.

Don’t forget to *not* upgrade the port without changing the Portfile…
