No universal packages for python27 @2.7.5 are available yet, so you'll be building it from source instead of using a pre-built package as you were with @2.7.3_1.


megamac# port selfupdate
--->  Updating MacPorts base sources using rsync
MacPorts base version 2.1.3 installed,
MacPorts base version 2.1.3 downloaded.
--->  Updating the ports tree
--->  MacPorts base is already the latest version

The ports tree has been updated. To upgrade your installed ports, you should run
  port upgrade outdated
megamac#

Yeah, I've never seen that before, either.



OK, after the selfupdate, the install of python27 is
working... thanks.
