Does anyone know of how to tell vim, at compile time or otherwise, to use the macports install of python?
Did you use python_select to get a python binary pointing to the version you want to use?
Thanks for the suggestion. I installed python_select, told it to use python24, and rebuilt vim +python, but that didn't seem to help. 'which vim' has always returned /opt/local/bin/vim, but I don't think it matters because vim's python module links to python at compile time. Vim has a configuration option --with-python-config-dir, so I tried adding --with-python-config-dir=/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Libraries/python2.4/config/ under configure.args in the vim portfile. Uninstalling, cleaning, and re-building vim still doesn't seem to be selecting the macports install of python. The way I check is by typing something in vim like :python import simplejson since I've installed simplejson under macports python but not under OS X's python. Any further thoughts? Thanks.
