You should try running the following: {{{ sudo port install python_select sudo python_select python26 }}} I cannot reproduce your error. What is in your /opt/local/etc/macports/variants.conf file? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/29239#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

See `port variants qgis`. I guess you want it to choose for you if you don't specify? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/29239#comment:5> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

I have +python26 in my variants.conf file and doing a "{{{port info qgis}}}" shows (+)python26 as a default, but that comes from my variants.conf. I thought it was a default for the port. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/29239#comment:9> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

I've managed to get qgis working by specifying the python version by hand. The automation is just a convenience for both myself and other users.
