does not compute: "python25 drops but python25 doesn't" -- contradiction detected. ;) If the question was why python25 does not build all auxiliary modules [1] like _sqlite3 etc.: For people who don't need e.g. tk-support, building all those dependencies is unnecessary. We had this discussion of which modules would be cool to include by default and which not to already. Conclusion was that either we rename python25 to python25-core and make a "virtual" port python25 that requires all modules+python25-core OR to make a python25-all (or whatever) port that collects all "cool" modules by dependency. The former sucks because we would need to change a lot of dependencies and the latter never made it into the repository because nobody cared enough. If someone is keen on getting the former to work: Please fix all dependencies!!! (And please also make this consistent for 2.4 and 3.0) Regards, -Markus [1] http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/wiki/FAQ#WhycantIimportfooinPython2.5 -- Dipl. Inf. (FH) Markus W.
