#17475: swig python variant is based on python26 ------------------------------------------+--------------------------------- Reporter: macsforever2000@… | Owner: kevin@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.7.0 Keywords: | Port: swig ------------------------------------------+--------------------------------- Comment(by mcalhoun@…): Replying to [ticket:17475 macsforever2000@…]:
The swig python variant now seems to be based on python26. There needs to be a python25 variant.
This was my doing in r42765.[[BR]] I thought (perhaps mistakenly) that the latest available python should be used.[[BR]] Adding a new variant would be easy enough {{{ set bindings { python25 port:python25 python=${prefix}/bin/python2.5 python26 port:python26 python=${prefix}/bin/python2.6 }}} but making them conflict would not be pleasant.[[BR]] If indeed #15854 was correct and python_select poses no problem, then that seems to me to be to be a better solution[[BR]] if installing python26 is unacceptable.
The python26 port isn't even functional currently. If this is the case, please let the maintainers know.[[BR]] It is thought to be functional (although still missing many external packages).
