Yes, but I was trying to do two things (on a Mac):  use the lazy-man's Python complete install provided by Enthought, and run it through Spyder.  Seems like never the twain shall meet :-(  Or at least, not yet.  

But it has become an interesting challenge.  I managed it with independent installs or Enthought, Spyder and QT with a previous version of Enthought a couple of years ago, but not using Macports.  Really messy (QT stuff all over the place) and very time consuming...
