#32464: SymPy -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: sognat@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: submission | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Resolution: invalid | Keywords: Port: py-sympy | -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Comment(by dports@…): Replying to [comment:3 asmeurer@…]:
By the way, why does https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/python/py-sympy/Portfile have py24-sympy as a dependency? Am I reading that correctly? The default version should be SymPy 0.7.1 for Python 2.7.
Most Python ports have python.default version set to 2.4, so py-sympy installs py24-sympy. This is for historical reasons and backwards compatibility. In the past, Python 2.4 ports were named py-* because they existed before Python ports installed for a specific version. In case anyone still has them installed, we want py-sympy to install py24-sympy; everyone else should be installing the versioned subports. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/32464#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
