New description: The swig python variant now seems to be based on python26. There needs to be a python25 variant. The python26 port isn't even functional currently. py25-scipy depends on swig. So someone wanting that would suddenly also have python26 installed since +python is a default variant.

The swig python variant now seems to be based on python26. There needs to be a python25 variant.

This was my doing in r42765.[[BR]] I thought (perhaps mistakenly) that the latest available python should be used.[[BR]] Adding a new variant would be easy enough {{{ set bindings { python25 port:python25 python=${prefix}/bin/python2.5 python26 port:python26 python=${prefix}/bin/python2.6 }}} but making them conflict would not be pleasant.[[BR]] If indeed #15854 was correct and python_select poses no problem, then that seems to me to be to be a better solution[[BR]] if installing python26 is unacceptable.

The python26 port isn't even functional currently. If this is the case, please let the maintainers know.[[BR]] It is thought to be functional (although still missing many external packages).

So until there are enough modules to make python26 useful enough, I say keep python25, or until a more generic, non-version, method can be used. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17475#comment:6> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

Unless someone else has any objection, I vote for changing the swig dependency to python_select.

Seconded, obviously. Just doubled checked my last statement, as the last time I checked that was several months ago, and py25-scipy builds (and runs!) without issue (ignoring all the nose deprecation warnings which are resolved in 0.7.0.svn which I've also checked) against swig built against python_select pointing to python25-apple on Intel Leopard. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17475#comment:11> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
