I am running Mac OSX 10.5.8. I recently installed a version of macports that is compatible: MacPorts-2.0.3-10.5-Leopard.dmg. I am trying to use this to install python25 and py25-gtk, which I have done before on other Mac systems, although they were 10.6.*.
I already have python 2.5 on this machine, but I repeated the port install just because I had done this in the past. After macports installed, I did the following commands followed by their output.
sudo port -v install python25
---> Computing dependencies for python25
---> Cleaning python25
---> Removing work directory for python25
sudo port -v install python_select
---> Cleaning python_select
---> Removing work directory for python_select
sudo python_select python25
sudo: python_select: command not found
Needless to say python_select did not install correctly. I also tried installing py25-gtk
sudo port -v install py25-gtk
and this takes some time to install (a few hours). It seemed to install correctly, but still when I ran import gtk from my python shell i got nothing.
It seems macports is not installing the python25 and python_select, unless these are already installed and there is something wrong with the shell profile. Basically all I need is pygtk to work with my python25 that I already have. If anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
python_select has been replaced by port select
To see the possible pythons run
port select --list python
From that list choose the one you want and change to it e.g.
sudo port select --set python python25
