Will USE_PYTHON accept my existing Python version?

2008-04-16 Thread Toomas Aas

Hello!

Sorry for asking such a stupid question. I tried to figure out the answer 
myself by reading /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.python.mk, but it's really over my head.


If I'm going to install a port that defines USE_PYTHON=yes in it's 
Makefile and I currently have python-2.4.3,1 installed, will the port 
accept my existing Python version or attempt to pull in Python 2.5?


Thanks in advance.

# PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION
#   - Version of the default python binary in your ${PATH}, in
# the format "python2.5". Set this in your /etc/make.conf
# in case you want to use an older version as a default.
# default: python2.5

Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules
and never get to the software part.
