#12873: Python25 upgrade 2 does not work with Mac OSX 10.3.9, fix attached -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: jwelp1@gmail.com | Owner: mww@macports.org Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.5.0 Resolution: fixed | Keywords: Python25 -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Comment (by william.allen.simpson@gmail.com):

Because the ticket was closed before verification, and I'm not on the CC list, it disappeared from the tickets I'm watching. Just checked, and it does install here....

It doesn't install a link from python to python2.5, but that's another issue. Thanks!

The symlink can be created by using the port python_select. As we provide multiple python versions, there is no other solution possible. $ sudo port install python_select $ sudo python_select python25 Rainer
