#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 ------------------------------------------+--------------------------------- Changes (by ram@…): * cc: ram@… (added) Comment: I original filled #15854 and the contents of the swig python variant is independent of the python specified. I have been using swig with this patch applied for several months now with no ill effects, py25-scipy builds without issue. I have tested building py25-scipy against the swig python variant depending on python_select with specifying a python version using python_select and it builds without issue. Therefore I cannot see why python_select can't be used as the dependency for the python variant. However a post-activate hook should probably be added to python_select to recommend the installation of a python port, probably python25 at the moment (well at least until python26 is more mature). -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17475#comment:7> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
