{{{ ---> Activating python27 @2.7.6_0 Error: org.macports.activate for port python27 returned: Image error: /Applications/MacPorts/Python 2.7/IDLE.app/Contents/Info.plist already exists and does not belong to a registered port. Unable to activate port python27. Use 'port -f activate python27' to force the activation. }}}
The issue is very clearly stated: The file `/Applications/MacPorts/Python 2.7/IDLE.app/Contents/Info.plist` is present but unaccounted for. Did you have MacPorts installed on this machine previously? Did you remove it without uninstalling all ports first? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/42206#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
