Mark - I tried to install the port py-scipy on an Intel Mac last week with similar results.
a lot of dependecies were installed, but python24 wasn't (at least at the time that numpy was built). So I guess that numpy needs a dependency on python24.
Error: The following dependencies failed to build: py-numpy Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
I did not run into problems with the python24 dependency, but I may have already had it installed.
now I'm stuck at building scipy itself.
In scipy-0.5.2/Lib/odr/setup.py, Line 9 method "get_path" is imported from some numpy module, but that method doesn't exist there.
I definitely encountered this one too -- after digging around for awhile and posting to several lists, I filed a bug report in the MacPorts Trac system (#12331, http://trac.macports.org/projects/ macports/ticket/12331). I also contacted Erick Tryzelaar, the maintainer for py-numpy and py-scipy, earlier this week, and he seemed to be aware of this bug and said that he hoped to have an update out soon.
Replacing
from numpy.distutils.misc_util import get_path, Configuration, dot_join
by
from numpy.distutils.misc_util import Configuration, dot_join
solves the issue. However, I don't know why it was imported because it is not used in Lib/odr/setup.py at all.
I resolved this differently than you did (by replacing it with a call to get_path_from_frame instead of simply removing it -- see my bug report above), but the end result seems to be the same for both of us:
Now, having that fixed, the next error seems to be a linking error. Obviously someone forgot to link against the Python Framework / libpython2.4.dylib. Linking happens to fail for every Fortran module, cluster and io on the other hand are built without error. Could someone shed light into this?

I'm getting this too, and here I am also stuck. Any leads? I think I have exhausted my meager MacPorts skills. I'll let you know if I hear anything else from Erick, and please do let me know if you figure out a fix in the meantime. Best - Chris MacMinn
