Re: problems build root on OSX against non-system python version

Chris,

yes, the upshot here is that 'python' is taken from PATH, which in practice gives the least confusion.

Is it possible to add the MacPorts python to PATH? In particular, AFAIK, there are three MacPorts pythons supplied (p2.5 through p2.7) so I'd say that it is preferable to have whichever of these is "active" rather than a specific python.

Best regards,
