Hi Ned, Thanks for your response, I think the path is fine, since which python outputs the location where macports should install python i.e. /opt/local/bin/python.
also port list active | fgrep python python27 @2.7.3 lang/python27 and port location python27 Port python27 2.7.3_0 is installed as an image in: /opt/local/var/macports/software/python27/python27-2.7.3_0.darwin_11.x86_64.tbz2 Another problem caused by this installation is that somehow it removes os.urandom module: >>> import os >>> os.urandom Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'urandom' On Wednesday, September 12, 2012 8:07:43 PM UTC-7, Ned Deily wrote: > In article <da05ab8f-dbb4-4f23-8cbc-6b9a7b4f6...@googlegroups.com>, > > azandi <aza...@adconion.com> wrote: > > > > > I installed python 2.7.3 using macports on Lion, and used port select > > python > > > python27.
