You shouldn't be stuck on anything. The workaround is...
I wasn't *that* stuck. :) Thanks for recording the workaround here explicitly, though. I'm sure it will help a lot of people.
...I would like to avoid adding a python dependency unless absolutely necessary (i.e. on Tiger)
Interesting idea. So you mean use the Mac OS X native python 2 for Leopard and up, I assume. But then what to do for Tiger? Build a special temporary python just for this build (and just for testing, it looks like)? Is there some way to depend on a python port just for Tiger? Another idea is to have a port called something like "python2minimal" that just creates a symlink to /usr/bin/python for Leopard and up, and builds (or depends on) python 2.7 for Tiger and below. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/32306#comment:7> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
