#12369: Split python25 into python25-core and modules ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: nirs@actcom.net.il | Owner: mww@macports.org Type: defect | Status: reopened Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Enhancements Component: ports | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment(by casbon@gmail.com): It's worth mentioning that this split creates problems if you use 'python -S'. From the manpage: {{{ -S Disable the import of the module site and the site- dependent manipulations of sys.path that it entails. }}} So if you have software that invokes itself through 'python -S' it will not get any modules outside of the built python distribution. The times I have seen this, it is to prevent picking up any local customisations. Unfortunately, if the software uses hashlib which it is fair to assume *should* be there, it will fail, and there is no way of fixing it using macports. You have to manually copy the hashlib module from where macports puts it to where python expects it. -1 for this split. Keep it as it's shipped. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/12369#comment:18> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
