Macports now uses python27 by default and you can install the py27-* version of those ports if you need them. Personally I add +python27 to my variants.conf file to specifically give me that version of python. You might also check if you have any ports installed with a python24 variant with the following command:</div><div><br></div><div>port installed | grep python24</div><div><br></div><div>Then install those ports with the python27 variant instead. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Cheers!</div><div>Frank</div><div><br></div></div></body></html>
