Thanks, I figured that might be the case. Apple even seem to be shipping three different versions of Python this time around - and nobody wants to use them!
Fundamentally, my problem is that I want to install a python library with "easy_install" and that is connected to the system Python. Furthermore, I frequently come up against scripts that start #!/usr/bin/python instead of, what we all know should be used, #!/usr/bin/env python Other than changing the scripts, or manually sudo changing /usr/bin/python, is there a solution to that problem? And, can somebody please advise on how to install "easy_install"? PS: I'm increasingly becoming more opposed to mailing lists - they require so much setup. Is this community also active on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/macports ? I find Stack Overflow to be a much more natural place for these sorts of Q&As, with mailing lists being reserved for discussions (Google Groups is easily the most superior choice). -- Sam On 9 Aug 2012, at 00:09, Brandon Allbery <allber...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Wed, Aug 8, 2012 at 7:01 PM, Sam Halliday <sam.halli...@gmail.com> wrote: > Furthermore, is it possible to install "subversion-python27bindings" against > the system Python 2.7? > > No it is not, no this is not a bug, no it will not be "fixed".
