#18260: Python 2.6 enables tk by default without any variants to turn it off pulling in xorg --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: n@… | Owner: blb@… Type: enhancement | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.7.0 Resolution: wontfix | Keywords: Port: python26 | --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Changes (by blb@…): * status: assigned => closed * resolution: => wontfix Comment: This was done deliberately (in r42841) as otherwise Python isn't quite Python as most people expect it; see for example ticket #12369 especially [comment:ticket:12369:18 comment 18] about what happens when such modules are split out. Using a variant means that if you already have it installed and want to add tk, then you have to go through the mess of manually deactivating rebuilding with +tk. Also, note that IDLE requires Tk... Note that the xorg dependencies can be kept light with the +system_x11 variant if you're using 10.5 (I don't believe it's safe on 10.4 and earlier). See [http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports- dev/2009-January/006870.html the email thread] for info on +system_x11. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/18260#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
