Thanks for the hints. I changed the subject line to be more
descriptive.
Two things:
First, I added the line "configure.env PYTHON=${prefix}/bin/python2.5"
to my portfile. And now when I do a "sudo port -v configure", I see
configure is clearly finding python2.5, not python.
Yet, now when I do "sudo port -t destroot", I get the following two
lines repeated 14 times:
trace: access denied to /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/
Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/os.py (*unknown*)
trace: access denied to /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/
Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/os.pyc (*unknown*)
But "port provides" says these two files are provided by python25.
Second... and I don't know if this is important, but...
"port provides /opt/local/bin/python", for me, returns "/opt/local/bin/
python is not provided by a MacPorts port."
Yet /opt/local/bin/python, which is a symlink to python2.5, was
definitely created by python_select (I ran python_select again just to
be sure).
And "port provides" does confirm that "python_select" is provided by
python_select and python2.5 is provided by python25.
As always, though, "sudo port install" still works fine.
Thanks,
Allen

you can do 'port provides foo' to find out what port provides foo:

If you can tell the configure script to use ${prefix}/python2.5
instead of ${prefix}/python, that would be good.
So, I'm thinking I can go ahead and submit my Portfile to MacPorts
despite these "access denied" messages from trace mode. Any
suggestions to the contrary?
Also, a question about the "maintainer" field of the Portfile...
since I don't have commit privileges, I assume I should leave this
as "nomaintainer" rather than putting my own e-mail in, correct?
No, you can put your own email address in the field. For a little
while you'll need to bug a committer to actually commit any changes
to your port, but after you've done it for a while you should apply
for commit access so you can update it yourself.
