Hi, I've been using MacPorts to install python modules, but I'm finding that a lot of packages seem to depend on python 2.4 rather than 2.5. Is MacPorts generally still using python 2.4 as the default python version? Is there a way to force a package (py-feedparser, for example) to use python 2.5? Thanks, Benson

Generally speaking all the python 2.4 modules have names that begin "py" for example py-feedparser. The python 2.5 modules all begin with "py25-" like py-25-zib. port list py25* will list all the python 2.5 ones for you. If you see a "py" that has no "py25" version you might ask the develloper or make a trac ticket asking for one. Or even get your feet wet, and try making a port yourself. I know the developers on this list would be glad to help you do that.... :) William Davis frstanATbellsouthDOTnet Mac OS X.5.0 Darwin 9.0.0 Mac Mini Intel Duo @ 1.86 GHz Mundus vult decepi, ego non

Awesome, thanks for the info. I'll take a look at some 2.4 ports and see about modifying them to work with python 2.5. Benson On Fri, Nov 09, 2007 at 03:53:00PM -0500, Daniel J. Luke wrote:

Often it is sufficient to change the line PortGroup python24 1.0 to PortGroup python25 1.0 of course IF the module runs with both versions. -Markus
