On trying to install Python24 on my new macbook, running 10.4.8, with no python ports installed except apple's standard 2.3 framework, I get:

I noticed a similar thread a year ago & did
port sync
port clean --all python24
etc

as the posts suggested, but still the same problem

You apparently have things at /Applications/DarwinPorts/MacPython but MacPorts doesn't think it put them there. Either manually remove them first, or use the -f flag when installing the port to force it.
