#28479: gobject-introspection 0.9.12 FTB with Python 3 selected -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: gale@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.9.2 Keywords: python3, autoconf | Port: gobject-introspection -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- With python 3.2 selected as the default python version using python- select: {{{ $ sudo port upgrade atk ---> Computing dependencies for gobject-introspection ---> Configuring gobject-introspection Error: Target org.macports.configure returned: configure failure: shell command failed (see log for details) }}} And then from the log: {{{ :info:configure checking whether Python support is requested... checking for a Python interpreter with version >= 2.5... python :info:configure checking for python... /opt/local/bin/python :info:configure checking for python version... 3.2 :info:configure checking for python platform... darwin :info:configure checking for python script directory... ${prefix}/lib/python3.2/site-packages :info:configure checking for python extension module directory... ${exec_prefix}/lib/python3.2/site-packages :info:configure checking for headers required to compile python extensions...

The script in question could easily be fixed to work with all versions of python by adding parens: {{{ import sys; print(sys.prefix) import sys; print(sys.exec_prefix) }}} -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/28479> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
